Mumbai is the financial capital of India and home to the highest concentration of CA firms, ROC offices (Mumbai + Pune bench), and banks. Most registrations are filed through the Mumbai (city) or Pune bench of NCLT. Stamp duty on share capital is governed by the Maharashtra Stamp Act and is among the highest in India. The Maharashtra Ready-Reckoner (circle rate) is used for property valuation, and Mumbai property rates are the highest in the country, which directly impacts valuations on Net Worth Certificates and FDI structuring.
