Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between Projected Financials and a DPR?
Projected financials are the financial statements only (P&L, BS, CF). A DPR is the full project document that contains projected financials plus market study, technical feasibility, regulatory analysis, SWOT etc. Banks for working-capital often need only projections; for term-loan they need a full DPR.
Are your projections accepted by banks in Patna?
Yes. Our projections are issued in PNB-59 / SBI-CMA-2018 / Canara / HDFC / ICICI MSME formats and are routinely accepted by appraising branches in Patna. CA-certificate with UDIN is included where required.
How long do projections take to prepare?
3-5 working days for a 3-5 year projection from receipt of promoter inputs, historical financials (if existing business) and assumption guidance call. Bank-format conversion adds 1-2 days.
Can projections be used for investor pitch decks?
Yes. We deliver a "founder narrative" version (high-level summary slides) plus a "data-room" version (full Schedule III with assumption sheets) for investor diligence. Cap-table, runway, burn-rate, unit-economics modules included on request.
Will the projections work for visa applications?
Yes — UK Innovator/Founder, Canada SUV, USA E-2/EB-5, and Australia 188 visa applications routinely accept our CA-certified 5-year projections as financial-viability proof.
Do you serve Patna-based clients?
Yes. Virtual Auditor scopes projection engagements for Patna businesses from our offices in Chennai, Bengaluru and Mumbai. Secure data-room workflow; weekly status updates. Call +91 99622 60333.
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.
What stamp duty applies to a share transfer in Bihar?
Stamp duty on a transfer of shares is 0.015% of the consideration under Article 62 of Schedule I to the Indian Stamp Act, 1899, as amended with effect from 1 July 2020; the rate is the same in every state, including Bihar. Stamp duty on the share purchase agreement itself follows the Indian Stamp Act, 1899 (Bihar Amendment).
Do you have an office in Patna?
No. Patna is served remotely from our Chennai head 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.
How can I build defensible projections and understand the cash and funding consequences?
Build revenue from drivers you can evidence, such as customers, volumes, prices and conversion rates, rather than a growth percentage. Split costs into variable, semi-variable and fixed. Model working capital in days, capital expenditure with depreciation, and the repayment schedule of any debt. Link the profit and loss account, balance sheet and cash flow so the balance sheet balances every period. Then run scenarios and sensitivities on the assumptions that matter most, and read off the funding gap, runway and debt-service cover. Keep an assumptions register that says where each number comes from. You receive the model, the assumptions register and a short note on the results and risks.
Breakeven and Operating Leverage
For Patna-region capex-heavy businesses (agro-processing (rice, maize, makhana — Bihar accounts for 85% of India's makhana output), leather (Muzaffarpur), sugar clusters being the typical exemplars), high operating leverage means breakeven utilisation matters a lot — and we model the year-by-year breakeven trajectory rather than a static single-point.

Projected P&L, Balance Sheet & Cash-Flow in Patna
For Patna-based businesses, projection-model anchors are: corporate filings at ROC Patna, GSTIN state-code 10, ITAT jurisdiction at ITAT Patna, and Patna-region peer-data calibration for capacity-utilisation ramp, working-capital cycle, and price-escalation assumptions.
Patna hosts ROC Patna, the Patna High Court principal bench, ITAT Patna, and the Bihta industrial area (foods, auto-component). The Patna-Buxar-Ghazipur Eastern Dedicated Freight Corridor and the Patna Metro under construction create new logistics-FDI opportunities.
The economic mix of Patna runs across cement (Bhojpur, Rohtas), small-scale engineering, sugar — sectors that consistently dominate the regulatory case-load and the profile of the engagements we field from this jurisdiction. Notable industrial enclaves include food processing parks at Begusarai and Muzaffarpur. On the AD-Bank side, SBI Patna lead bank with PNB, Bank of Baroda also providing AD-I services; FEMA filings of any complexity often referred to Kolkata AD branches.
Bihar's Industrial Investment Promotion Policy 2016 (renewed 2022) offers up to 30% capital subsidy for textile units and 15% for general manufacturing, plus reimbursement of stamp duty and electricity duty.
Patna-Region Peer Calibration
Projection-model assumptions are calibrated against actual Patna-region peer financials in agro-processing (rice, maize, makhana — Bihar accounts for 85% of India's makhana output) and leather (Muzaffarpur) sectors — DSO, DPO, DIO, capacity-utilisation ramp curves, gross-margin bands and EBITDA conversion.
Working-Capital Cycle Discipline
Working-capital cycle for Patna-based businesses is built bottom-up: debtor-days against Patna customer-payment behaviour (typically 75-105 days for B2B in agro-processing (rice, maize, makhana — Bihar accounts for 85% of India's makhana output)); creditor-days against Patna supplier-norm; inventory-days against Patna sector turn ratios.
Patna: compliance facts for projected financials — p&l, balance sheet & cash-flow
Patna is Bihar's capital and its trading, education and construction hub, with the Patliputra and Bihta industrial areas and a fast-growing base of small companies and contractors. ROC-cum-OL Patna, the Patna High Court and ITAT Patna are in the city; NCLT matters go to Kolkata. For projected financials — p&l, balance sheet & cash-flow this means the company’s filings go to ROC-cum-OL Patna and tribunal matters to NCLT Kolkata; where a non-resident invests, the price is also checked against the FEMA pricing rules.
