Frequently Asked Questions

Which Registrar of Companies handles filings for a company in Guwahati?

ROC Guwahati has jurisdiction over companies with a registered office in Assam. Virtual Auditor files SPICe+, PAS-3, SH-7 and annual returns with that office on your behalf.

Which ITAT bench hears appeals from Guwahati?

Second appeals from Guwahati go to the ITAT Guwahati; first appeals are heard by the faceless CIT(A) under the Pr. CCIT North East Region (Guwahati) charge.

Do you have an office in Guwahati?

No. Guwahati is served remotely from our Chennai head office, about 2,262 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.

Do these related-party dealings need transfer-pricing work, and what documentation will I receive?

Transfer pricing applies to international transactions with associated enterprises, and to specified domestic transactions above ₹20 crore. Where the aggregate value of international transactions exceeds ₹1 crore, the prescribed documentation must be kept, and every entity with such transactions files an accountant’s report (Form 3CEB) by the due date (the Income-tax Act, 1961 for tax years up to 2025-26; the corresponding provisions of the Income-tax Act, 2025 from tax year 2026-27). Large groups also file a master file and country-by-country report. You receive a transfer-pricing study that maps each transaction, analyses functions, assets and risks, selects the method, benchmarks against comparable companies, and concludes on the arm’s length price, together with the certified report. If the price is adjusted in assessment, we support the objection and appeal.

Transfer Pricing Practice in Guwahati — Local TP Charge & Industry Profile

For taxpayers in Guwahati with international transactions or specified domestic transactions exceeding the Section 92BA / 92E thresholds, the operational TP touchpoints are: TPO Guwahati (assessing TPO charge), ITAT Guwahati (appellate forum), and the AD-bank reporting loop — typically SBI Guwahati and ICICI/HDFC mid-corporate desks in Guwahati handle the bulk of FEMA-CG filings for upper Assam tea exporters. The Guwahati GSTIN state-code is 18, which becomes relevant for the Form 3CEB cross-reference of intra-group services and royalty flows.

Guwahati hosts ROC Shillong's effective operational hub for the entire North-East, ITAT Guwahati bench (handles eight North-East states + Sikkim), and the Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport — the principal aviation gateway to North-East India. The Brahmaputra Cracker & Polymer Limited (Lepetkata, near Dibrugarh) anchors petrochemical FDI in upper Assam.

The economic mix of Guwahati runs across plywood & forest products, agri-processing (rice, jute), tourism — sectors that consistently dominate the regulatory case-load and the profile of the engagements we field from this jurisdiction. Notable industrial enclaves include No active multi-product SEZ; export units claim NEIDS 2017 capital, GST and transport subsidies. On the AD-Bank side, SBI Guwahati and ICICI/HDFC mid-corporate desks in Guwahati handle the bulk of FEMA-CG filings for upper Assam tea exporters.

Assam contributes more than half of India's domestic tea output and over 12% of natural-gas production, and qualifies for NEIDS 2017's 30% Central Capital Investment Incentive on plant & machinery.

Industry-Specific TP Methodology — Guwahati Sector Profile

For tea (largest single-state producer in India) and petroleum & natural gas (Digboi, Numaligarh) taxpayers, the methodology choice typically routes through TNMM (Transactional Net Margin Method) on a value-add net-cost-plus or operating-margin basis, with comparable selection drawn from the Capitaline / Prowess databases filtered for Guwahati-region operating subsidiaries where the comparable population permits.

Common ITAT Guwahati TP Adjustment Patterns

Recurring adjustment themes in ITAT Guwahati TP appeals from our practice: (a) inappropriate comparable selection — particularly where the TPO substitutes a comparable set with smaller / loss-making companies excluded under different functional-comparability filters; (b) mis-characterisation of the Indian entity (entrepreneur-vs-routine — a frequent pitfall in software-services and contract-manufacturing models common to Guwahati); (c) treatment of forex gains/losses as operating versus non-operating; (d) AMP (Advertising-Marketing-Promotion) and brand-building expense disallowance / mark-up imputation.

SDT (Specified Domestic Transactions) and Safe Harbour Considerations

For Guwahati-based taxpayers, SDT compliance under Section 92BA arises principally where there are inter-unit transfers between SEZ/non-SEZ units or 80-IA / 80-IB / 80-IC eligible undertakings — relevant where companies hold units in No active multi-product SEZ; export units claim NEIDS 2017 capital, GST and transport subsidies.

Engagement — Guwahati Coverage

Virtual Auditor's TP practice covers: TP study and Form 3CEB for Guwahati-based taxpayers, master-file and CbCR support, APA filings, TPO assessment representation, CIT(A) and ITAT representation under ITAT Guwahati, and benchmarking of transactions across services, royalties, IP licensing, intra-group financing, and contract manufacturing.
