Frequently Asked Questions
Which Registrar of Companies handles filings for a company in Arunachal Pradesh?
ROC Guwahati has jurisdiction over companies with a registered office in Arunachal Pradesh. 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 Arunachal Pradesh?
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 Arunachal Pradesh. Stamp duty on the share purchase agreement itself follows the Indian Stamp Act, 1899 (state schedule).
Do you have an office in Arunachal Pradesh?
No. Arunachal Pradesh 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.
Which valuation rule applies to my transaction and period, including any historical assessment?
It depends on the transaction and the tax year. Share issues made up to 31 March 2024 may still be examined under the old angel-tax provision, section 56(2)(viib), with value under Rule 11UA(2): net asset value or a merchant banker’s DCF, at the company’s option. Share issues from 1 April 2024 are outside angel tax. Shares received for less than their fair market value are taxed in the recipient’s hands (section 56(2)(x)), using the formula in Rule 11UA(1), and the seller may be taxed on fair value under section 50CA. From tax year 2026-27, the Income-tax Act, 2025 and the Income-tax Rules, 2026 apply, so the corresponding provisions must be cited. We match each transaction to its period and rule and say who must sign the report.

Section 56(2)(viib) Practice Considerations in Arunachal Pradesh
For startups and closely held companies in Arunachal Pradesh, the Section 56(2)(viib) computation under Rule 11UA(2) interlocks with three local touchpoints: assessing-officer charge under ITAT Guwahati appellate jurisdiction, AD-bank reporting under SBI and a handful of nationalised banks have AD-Cat-I branches in Itanagar/Naharlagun; complex FEMA filings typically routed via Guwahati AD branches, and the FEMA pricing regime where any non-resident subscriber is on the cap table. Stamp duty on the underlying allotment instruments follows the Arunachal Pradesh schedule — 0.15% on MOA (Indian Stamp Act applies; no separate state schedule for company instruments) — which adds up materially on large authorised-capital rounds.
The economic mix of Arunachal Pradesh runs across hydroelectric power, handicrafts & handloom, tourism (eco & adventure) — sectors that consistently dominate the regulatory case-load and the profile of the engagements we field from this jurisdiction. Notable industrial enclaves include No notified multi-product SEZ; eligible units fall under North-East Industrial Development Scheme (NEIDS) 2017. On the AD-Bank side, SBI and a handful of nationalised banks have AD-Cat-I branches in Itanagar/Naharlagun; complex FEMA filings typically routed via Guwahati AD branches.
Arunachal Pradesh enjoys 100% income tax exemption for indigenous Scheduled Tribe (ST) members under Section 10(26) of the Income Tax Act, and benefits from the NEIDS 2017 transport, capital-investment and interest subsidies.
Choice of Valuation Method — Arunachal Pradesh Sector Context
For companies in heavy-asset sectors prevalent in Arunachal Pradesh (e.g. hydroelectric power), an NAV cross-check is essential because the DCF and NAV will diverge, and the assessing officer typically anchors on whichever lower figure supports a Section 56(2)(viib) addition.
Recent Assessment Patterns under ITAT Guwahati
From our practice across ITAT Guwahati appeals, the most common reasons that 56(2)(viib) additions are made — and either survived or struck down on appeal — are: (a) inadequate documentation of the projected cash-flow assumptions (Income Tax Officer challenge under Rule 11UA(2)(b) explanation); (b) absence of comparable-company cross-check in the valuation report (a soft requirement under best-practice but heavily relied on by CIT(A)); (c) cap-table inconsistency with the FC-GPR filing where a non-resident is on the round — this triggers parallel FEMA enquiry and erodes the 56(2)(viib) defence.
FEMA Pricing Interaction for Arunachal Pradesh Cap Tables with Non-Residents
For Arunachal Pradesh-based companies, the AD-bank channel becomes the operational reporting loop: typically SBI and a handful of nationalised banks have AD-Cat-I branches in Itanagar/Naharlagun.

Arunachal Pradesh: compliance facts for section 56 2 viib valuation report
Arunachal Pradesh's economy rests on hydropower projects, forest-based industry, horticulture and government contracting, with Itanagar and Naharlagun as the commercial centres. Most incorporated businesses are small contractors, hospitality operators and trading firms, and the state offers income-tax and GST-linked incentives under the North East Industrial Development Scheme. Companies file with ROC Guwahati, and the Itanagar permanent bench of the Gauhati High Court hears writ matters. For section 56 2 viib valuation report this means the company’s filings go to ROC Guwahati and tribunal matters to NCLT Guwahati; where a non-resident invests, the price is also checked against the FEMA pricing rules.
