GST registration is a one-time process where a business obtains a GSTIN from the GST portal — mandatory when annual turnover exceeds ₹40 lakhs for goods or ₹20 lakhs for services in Karnataka. GST return filing is an ongoing monthly or quarterly obligation after registration — GSTR-1, GSTR-3B and annually GSTR-9. Sirus Infotech handles both the one-time GST registration and ongoing monthly return filing for Bengaluru businesses under a single retainer, ensuring zero missed deadlines and no late-fee penalties.

Company registration in Bengaluru through the MCA21 portal — under ROC Karnataka — typically takes 7 to 12 working days from document submission to Certificate of Incorporation. The process includes DSC procurement (1–2 days), name reservation via RUN (1–3 days), SPICe+ filing (2–3 days) and ROC Karnataka processing (2–4 days). PAN, TAN and Certificate of Incorporation are issued simultaneously. Sirus Infotech handles the complete MCA21 incorporation process digitally — no office visits required.

For a salaried professional in Bengaluru, ITR filing requires: Form 16 from your employer, PAN card, Aadhaar card, bank account details, Form 26AS and AIS from the income tax portal, investment proof documents for Section 80C deductions (PPF, ELSS, LIC), HRA exemption documents if claiming, and interest certificates for home loan Section 24 deduction. Sirus Infotech's CA team files ITR for salaried professionals, business owners and NRIs — ensuring maximum legitimate deductions are claimed.

Trademark registration is not mandatory in India but strongly recommended to protect your brand from copying. An unregistered mark can use the ™ symbol, while a registered trademark uses the ® symbol. The trademark registration process takes 18 to 24 months on average for full registration — however, the filing date itself gives priority protection. Sirus Infotech files trademark applications with IP India, including trademark search, class identification, Form TM-A filing and response to examination reports if objections are raised.

FSSAI registration or licence is mandatory for all Bengaluru businesses involved in food production, processing, storage, distribution or sale. Three types apply: (1) FSSAI Basic Registration — for small businesses with turnover below ₹12 lakhs; (2) FSSAI State Licence (Karnataka) — for medium businesses with turnover ₹12 lakhs to ₹20 crores; (3) FSSAI Central Licence — for large food businesses with turnover above ₹20 crores, importers or multi-state operations. Restaurants, cloud kitchens, food manufacturers, packaged food companies and food delivery businesses all require FSSAI compliance. Sirus Infotech obtains the correct licence type and manages annual renewal.

Non-compliance attracts heavy penalties. Sirus Infotech manages complete annual compliance for Karnataka companies.
