| Topic | Current position | What it means for you |
|---|---|---|
| Registrar of Companies | Bengaluru companies file with the RoC, Bangalore. The RoC did not change in the February 2026 reorganisation. | Name approval, incorporation and annual filings all sit with RoC Bangalore. |
| Regional Director | A new Regional Directorate (South-Western Region) at Bengaluru took over Karnataka, Kerala and Lakshadweep from 16 February 2026. Karnataka cases used to go to Hyderabad. | RD matters such as shifting a registered office to another state or compounding are now handled in Bengaluru. |
| Professional tax | From 1 April 2025, salaries up to ₹24,999 a month are exempt. Above that it is ₹200 a month and ₹300 in February, ₹2,500 a year. The company also pays its own enrolment tax. | Employers need PT registration and must deduct from the first eligible salary. New companies can apply through SPICe+. |
| Stamp duty on MoA/AoA | Karnataka raised stamp duty on company incorporation documents with effect from February 2024. | Budget for it in incorporation costs; see our state stamp duty table. |
| Shops & establishments | Offices and shops are covered by the Karnataka Shops and Commercial Establishments Act, 1961. | Register the office once you set up; we handle it with your incorporation. |
| Director KYC | DIR-3 KYC is now due once every three years (next routine filing by 30 June 2028), not every year. | Only a change in mobile, email or address needs an update within 30 days. Check your due date. |

For salaried IT professionals in Bengaluru
Most of our individual clients in Whitefield, Electronic City, Bellandur and Outer Ring Road work for multinationals and hold shares of a foreign parent. Three things go wrong most often:
- RSUs and ESOPs are taxed twice, at two different times. The value on vesting or exercise is salary (a perquisite) and your employer deducts TDS on it. When you sell, the gain over that value is a capital gain that you report yourself.
- Foreign shares must be shown in Schedule FA every year, even in a year you sold nothing and earned nothing. The schedule follows the calendar year, not the Indian tax year, which is why it is often filled in wrongly. Since 1 October 2024 the Black Money Act penalty does not apply where foreign assets other than immovable property total up to ₹20 lakh, but the disclosure is still required.
- Foreign tax credit has to be claimed in time. US tax withheld on dividends or sale can be set off in India only if the credit form is filed on time with the return.
We compare the old and new regimes for you, handle HRA and home-loan claims, and reply to AIS mismatch notices. Which ITR should you file?
