Frequently Asked Questions
Which Registrar of Companies handles filings for a company in Delhi?
ROC Delhi has jurisdiction over companies with a registered office in Delhi. Virtual Auditor files SPICe+, PAS-3, SH-7 and annual returns with that office on your behalf.
Which Shops and Establishments Act applies to a new business in Delhi?
The Delhi Shops and Establishments Act, 1954 applies in Delhi, and professional tax is not levied. Virtual Auditor completes these registrations alongside incorporation.
Do you have an office in Delhi?
No. Delhi is served remotely from our Mumbai office: 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 business structure fits my founders, funding plans and liability needs?
It depends on who will own the business and how it will be funded. A private limited company suits founders who plan to raise equity or offer ESOPs: it needs at least two directors and two shareholders, and liability is limited to the share capital. An LLP suits partners who will fund the business themselves: it cannot issue shares to investors or ESOPs. A One Person Company suits a single founder who is an Indian citizen resident in India, and can later convert into a private or public company. A sole proprietorship has no separate legal identity, so the owner’s liability is unlimited. After incorporation, a company must hold its first board meeting within 30 days (section 173), issue share certificates within two months (section 56(4)) and file the commencement declaration INC-20A within 180 days. We confirm the fit and quote the full cost, including government fees and stamp duty, before filing.

Delhi (NCT)-Specific Incorporation Context
For Pvt Ltd registration in Delhi (NCT), the operationally relevant facts are: filings route to ROC Delhi, the GSTIN state-code prefix is 07, and stamp duty on incorporation instruments follows the schedule — 0.15% of authorised capital on MOA capped at ₹25 lakh (Indian Stamp Act, Delhi). Professional tax position: Not levied — Delhi has not enacted Professions Tax. Tax-tribunal jurisdiction sits with ITAT Delhi (multiple benches — largest in India), which becomes relevant for any post-incorporation Sec 56(2)(viib) or transfer-pricing dispute that escalates to ITAT.
The economic mix of Delhi (NCT) runs across wholesale trade (Naya Bazar, Khari Baoli, Old Delhi), media & advertising, retail & FMCG HQs — sectors that consistently dominate the regulatory case-load and the profile of the engagements we field from this jurisdiction. Notable industrial enclaves include Patparganj Industrial Area, Okhla Industrial Area. On the AD-Bank side, Delhi is the second-largest AD-I market after Mumbai; every foreign bank operates a dedicated mid- and large-corporate desk in Connaught Place / Nehru Place / Aerocity.
Delhi hosts ITAT's principal bench, the High Court bench with the largest TP-litigation docket, and the headquarters of the CBDT, DGFT, MCA and Competition Commission of India — making it the regulatory and judicial centre of gravity for company law in India.
Stamp Duty Optimisation in Delhi (NCT)
In Delhi (NCT), we typically scope authorised capital to cover the next 24-30 months of expected primary-issue activity, and structure subsequent rounds via further-issue resolutions rather than amendment-of-MOA filings — which would re-attract stamp duty and ROC fee at the 0.15% of authorised capital on MOA capped at ₹25 lakh (Indian Stamp Act rate.
Post-Incorporation Compliance Calendar Specific to Delhi (NCT)
Within 30 days of Certificate of Incorporation (COI), the company must (a) open a current account with a scheduled bank — for Delhi (NCT)-based subscribers, AD-Cat-I banks listed above are the most efficient because they double as the FEMA reporting branch should the cap-table later include foreign investors; (b) file INC-20A (commencement of business declaration); (c) register on EPFO/ESIC if statutory headcount thresholds are crossed; (d) where applicable, register under the Delhi (NCT)-specific professional-tax regime — relevant only where Professions Tax has been notified as listed above.
Delhi (NCT)-Specific Investor / Subscriber Considerations
For subscribers based in Delhi (NCT), the practical AD-bank choice is dictated by where the company maintains its primary current account — switching AD-banks mid-cycle is operationally disruptive and forces FIRMS-portal entity-master amendments.
