Quick Answer: Section 56(2)(viib) angel tax does not apply from AY 2025-26 onward. Virtual Auditor assists businesses in Hyderabad with pending Section 56(2)(viib) scrutiny for AY 2024-25 and earlier.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which Registrar of Companies handles filings for a company in Hyderabad?
ROC Hyderabad has jurisdiction over companies with a registered office in Telangana. 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 Telangana?
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 Telangana. Stamp duty on the share purchase agreement itself follows the Indian Stamp Act, 1899 (Telangana Amendment).
Do you have an office in Hyderabad?
No. Hyderabad is served remotely from our Bengaluru office, about 599 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 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 Hyderabad
For startups and closely held companies in Hyderabad, the Section 56(2)(viib) computation under Rule 11UA(2) interlocks with three local touchpoints: assessing-officer charge under ITAT Hyderabad appellate jurisdiction, AD-bank reporting under Hyderabad is India's pharma-FEMA capital; Citi, HSBC, JP Morgan and top private banks run dedicated life-sciences ODI/FDI desks; TS-iPASS portal turn-arounds are among India's fastest, and the FEMA pricing regime where any non-resident subscriber is on the cap table. Stamp duty on the underlying allotment instruments follows the Hyderabad schedule — 0.15% of authorised capital on MOA, capped at ₹5 lakh (Telangana Stamp Schedule, separated from undivided AP w.e.f. 2014) — which adds up materially on large authorised-capital rounds.
Hyderabad hosts HITEC City, Gachibowli, Madhapur and Nanakramguda — collectively the second-largest GCC concentration in India after Bengaluru (Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Meta, Apple all anchored). Genome Valley at Shamirpet is India's largest life-sciences cluster (about 30% of India's vaccine output). The TS-iPASS single-window grants industrial clearances within 15 working days.
The economic mix of Hyderabad runs across pharmaceuticals & life sciences (Genome Valley — over 30% of India's vaccine output), aerospace & defence (TASL, Adani Aero), IT/ITES & GCC (HITEC City, Gachibowli) — sectors that consistently dominate the regulatory case-load and the profile of the engagements we field from this jurisdiction. Notable industrial enclaves include Adibatla Aerospace Park, Pharma City Yadadri. On the AD-Bank side, Hyderabad is India's pharma-FEMA capital; Citi, HSBC, JP Morgan and top private banks run dedicated life-sciences ODI/FDI desks; TS-iPASS portal turn-arounds are among India's fastest.
Genome Valley produces about a third of the world's COVID-19 vaccine doses by volume, and Telangana's TS-iPASS framework guarantees industrial clearances within 15 working days.
Choice of Valuation Method — Hyderabad Sector Context
For companies in heavy-asset sectors prevalent in Hyderabad (e.g. pharmaceuticals & life sciences (Genome Valley — over 30% of India's vaccine output)), 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 Hyderabad
From our practice across ITAT Hyderabad 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 Hyderabad Cap Tables with Non-Residents
For Hyderabad-based companies, the AD-bank channel becomes the operational reporting loop: typically Hyderabad is India's pharma-FEMA capital.

Hyderabad: compliance facts for section 56 2 viib valuation report
Hyderabad is India's pharma and life-sciences capital (Genome Valley and the bulk-drug clusters) and a top-three IT city (HITEC City, the Financial District), with T-Hub as one of the country's largest incubators. ROC Hyderabad, the Telangana High Court, NCLT Hyderabad and ITAT Hyderabad are all in the city. For section 56 2 viib valuation report this means the company’s filings go to ROC Hyderabad and tribunal matters to NCLT Hyderabad; where a non-resident invests, the price is also checked against the FEMA pricing rules.
