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.

Which ITAT bench hears appeals from Pune?

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

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.

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 Pune — Local TP Charge & Industry Profile

For taxpayers in Pune with international transactions or specified domestic transactions exceeding the Section 92BA / 92E thresholds, the operational TP touchpoints are: TPO Mumbai (largest TP charge by quantum) and TPO Pune (assessing TPO charge), ITAT Mumbai (multiple benches) / Pune / Nagpur (appellate forum), and the AD-bank reporting loop — typically 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. The Pune GSTIN state-code is 27, which becomes relevant for the Form 3CEB cross-reference of intra-group services and royalty flows.

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.

Industry-Specific TP Methodology — Pune Sector Profile

For financial services (BFSI HQs at Mumbai) and petrochemicals (Mahul, Trombay) 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 Pune-region operating subsidiaries where the comparable population permits.

Common ITAT Mumbai (multiple benches) / Pune / Nagpur TP Adjustment Patterns

Recurring adjustment themes in ITAT Mumbai (multiple benches) / Pune / Nagpur 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 Pune); (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 Pune-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 MIDC SEZs at Khopoli, Talegaon, Aurangabad, Nagpur (MIHAN).

Engagement — Pune Coverage

Virtual Auditor's TP practice covers: TP study and Form 3CEB for Pune-based taxpayers, master-file and CbCR support, APA filings, TPO assessment representation, CIT(A) and ITAT representation under ITAT Mumbai (multiple benches) / Pune / Nagpur, and benchmarking of transactions across services, royalties, IP licensing, intra-group financing, and contract manufacturing. CA V. Viswanathan (FCA, ACS, CFE, IBBI/RV/03/2019/12333) leads engagements with named-partner ownership and full documentation discipline that withstands scrutiny at ITAT Mumbai (multiple benches) / Pune / Nagpur and beyond.
