Frequently Asked Questions
Which Registrar of Companies handles filings for a company in Pune?
ROC Pune has jurisdiction over companies with a registered office in Maharashtra. 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 Maharashtra?
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 Maharashtra. Stamp duty on the share purchase agreement itself follows the Maharashtra Stamp Act, 1958.
Do you have an office in Pune?
There is no local office. Service is coordinated by 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 Pune
For startups and closely held companies in Pune, the Section 56(2)(viib) computation under Rule 11UA(2) interlocks with three local touchpoints: assessing-officer charge under ITAT Mumbai (multiple benches) / Pune / Nagpur appellate jurisdiction, AD-bank reporting under Mumbai is India's primary AD-Cat-I market; every foreign bank with an India licence operates a Mumbai AD branch; complex ECB/ODI/FCY structures are almost always anchored here, and the FEMA pricing regime where any non-resident subscriber is on the cap table. Stamp duty on the underlying allotment instruments follows the Pune schedule — ₹1,000 fixed on MOA + 0.2% of authorised capital on AOA, capped at ₹50 lakh (Maharashtra Stamp Act 1958) — which adds up materially on large authorised-capital rounds.
Pune hosts ROC Pune (Maharashtra's second ROC), the ITAT Pune bench, and the Hinjewadi Rajiv Gandhi Infotech Park — Asia's third-largest IT park. The Chakan-Talegaon auto cluster (Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz, Tata Motors, Bajaj Auto) and the Magarpatta SEZ make Pune the second-largest GCC-FDI city in Maharashtra after Mumbai.
The economic mix of Pune runs across petrochemicals (Mahul, Trombay), IT/ITES (Pune Hinjewadi, Mumbai BKC/Powai/Andheri), engineering & textiles (Vidarbha, Marathwada) — sectors that consistently dominate the regulatory case-load and the profile of the engagements we field from this jurisdiction. Notable industrial enclaves include SEEPZ Andheri, Hinjewadi Rajiv Gandhi Infotech Park. On the AD-Bank side, Mumbai is India's primary AD-Cat-I market; every foreign bank with an India licence operates a Mumbai AD branch; complex ECB/ODI/FCY structures are almost always anchored here.
Maharashtra is the top contributor to India's GSDP (~14%) and corporate-tax base; Mumbai houses the headquarters of RBI, SEBI, BSE, NSE, IRDAI, and the largest concentration of listed companies in the country.
Choice of Valuation Method — Pune Sector Context
For companies in heavy-asset sectors prevalent in Pune (e.g. financial services (BFSI HQs at Mumbai)), 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 Mumbai (multiple benches) / Pune / Nagpur
From our practice across ITAT Mumbai (multiple benches) / Pune / Nagpur 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 Pune Cap Tables with Non-Residents
For Pune-based companies, the AD-bank channel becomes the operational reporting loop: typically Mumbai is India's primary AD-Cat-I market.

Pune: compliance facts for section 56 2 viib valuation report
Pune is Maharashtra's second economy — automobiles and components at Chakan and Pimpri-Chinchwad, IT at Hinjawadi and Magarpatta, engineering, education and a strong startup base. It has its own Registrar of Companies, ITAT Pune and a large income-tax charge; writs go to the Bombay High Court and NCLT matters to Mumbai. For section 56 2 viib valuation report this means the company’s filings go to ROC Pune and tribunal matters to NCLT Mumbai; where a non-resident invests, the price is also checked against the FEMA pricing rules.
