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.
What stamp duty applies to a share transfer in Delhi?
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 Delhi. Stamp duty on the share purchase agreement itself follows the Indian Stamp Act, 1899 (Delhi schedule).
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 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 Delhi (NCT)
For startups and closely held companies in Delhi (NCT), the Section 56(2)(viib) computation under Rule 11UA(2) interlocks with three local touchpoints: assessing-officer charge under ITAT Delhi (multiple benches — largest in India) appellate jurisdiction, AD-bank reporting under 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, and the FEMA pricing regime where any non-resident subscriber is on the cap table. Stamp duty on the underlying allotment instruments follows the Delhi (NCT) schedule — 0.15% of authorised capital on MOA capped at ₹25 lakh (Indian Stamp Act, Delhi) — which adds up materially on large authorised-capital rounds.
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.
Choice of Valuation Method — Delhi (NCT) Sector Context
The DCF methodology is almost always the operationally correct choice for early-stage and growth companies in Delhi (NCT)'s dominant sectors — particularly where the underlying business is not yet profitable but has identifiable revenue ramp. For companies in heavy-asset sectors prevalent in Delhi (NCT) (e.g. financial & professional services), 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 Delhi (multiple benches — largest in India)
From our practice across ITAT Delhi (multiple benches — largest in India) 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 Delhi (NCT) Cap Tables with Non-Residents
For Delhi (NCT)-based companies, the AD-bank channel becomes the operational reporting loop: typically Delhi is the second-largest AD-I market after Mumbai.
