Frequently Asked Questions

Which Registrar of Companies handles filings for a company in Patna?
ROC-cum-OL Patna has jurisdiction over companies with a registered office in Bihar. Virtual Auditor files SPICe+, PAS-3, SH-7 and annual returns with that office on your behalf.
Which ITAT bench hears appeals from Patna?
Second appeals from Patna go to the ITAT Patna; first appeals are heard by the faceless CIT(A) under the Pr. CCIT Bihar & Jharkhand (Patna) charge.
Do you have an office in Patna?
No. Patna is served remotely from our Mumbai office, about 1,741 km away: documents are exchanged online, filings are made on the MCA, GST and income-tax portals, and meetings are held by video or at that office by appointment.
Which return and disclosures apply to me, and what records must be reconciled before filing?
The return form depends on who you are and your income: salaried individuals with simple income, individuals with capital gains or foreign assets, businesses and professionals, firms and LLPs, companies, and trusts each use a different form, and residents must report foreign assets and income. Before filing, reconcile your Annual Information Statement (AIS), Form 26AS and TDS certificates with your own records: salary, interest, dividends, capital gains statements from brokers, rent, and any business books. The due date depends on whether your accounts must be audited. We tell you which form applies, prepare the computation, check it against the AIS, and file only after you approve it (the Income-tax Act, 1961 for tax years up to 2025-26; the corresponding provisions of the Income-tax Act, 2025 from tax year 2026-27).
