Frequently Asked Questions
Everything about virtual offices, business registration, GST and how getVIRTUAL works.
🏢 General & Legal
What is a virtual office?
A virtual office provides business registration, GST registration, and support for licenses like FSSAI, Import Export Code (IEC), Shop and Establishment / Gumasta, RERA, Drug License, and others. It gives you a physical mailing address, official documentation for business/tax registration, and office-related services (like mail handling and meeting room access) without the high overhead cost of renting dedicated physical office space.
Is a virtual office legal in India?
Yes, virtual offices are 100% legal in India. Both the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) and Goods and Services Tax (GST) authorities legally accept virtual office addresses for official business incorporation and tax registration, provided proper documentation is submitted.
📋 Business Registration & GST
Can I get my business registered using a virtual office?
Yes. You can register your Private Limited, LLP, Partnership, Sole Proprietorship, OPC (One Person Company), Section 8 Company, Trust, Society, or Association using a virtual office address in any city we operate in. getVIRTUAL provides all required government-compliant documents for smooth registration.
Can I get a GST registration with a virtual office?
Yes. getVIRTUAL provides dedicated virtual office solutions specifically designed for GST registration across all the cities we serve. The documentation provided satisfies all local GST authority verification checks.
Can I get a virtual office address for my HUF (Hindu Undivided Family)?
Yes. You can get a virtual office address for an HUF to obtain a new GST registration, open business accounts, or secure local business licenses. getVIRTUAL provides all required government-compliant documentation issued specifically in the name of your HUF and Karta for seamless verification.
What documents do I get with a virtual office?
Upon booking, you receive a complete legal onboarding package including:
- A formal Rent / License Agreement
- A signed No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the property owner
- A recent Utility Bill (Electricity, Water, or Property Tax bill) as proof of address.
📦 Operations & Physical Access
What happens to my couriers and official mail received at the virtual office?
All mail, government letters, and packages received at your assigned location are collected by on-site staff. You will be notified immediately upon receipt, and couriers can either be held for pickup or forwarded to your preferred address.
Can I use the office physically if I need a place to work?
Yes. While your virtual office subscription primarily covers address and registration rights, you can physically work at the partner location anytime by taking a Day Pass.
Can I use meeting rooms at my virtual office location?
Yes. You can access fully equipped meeting and conference rooms at your matched partner location by pre-booking slots through getVIRTUAL at nominal rates.
🔒 How getVIRTUAL Works
What is the cost of a virtual office for company or GST registration?
Pricing varies by city, micro-location and service — every listing on getVIRTUAL shows its exact starting price up front, so you always know the number before you book. Use the search on our homepage to see live pricing for your city.
Why does getVIRTUAL use Reference IDs instead of listing property names?
getVIRTUAL operates as a curated matching engine rather than an unverified listing directory. By indexing partner locations under standardized Reference IDs (e.g., GV-2179), we pre-screen spaces for MCA/GST compliance and fast document delivery before matching them to your exact business needs.
How many verified virtual office locations does getVIRTUAL have?
getVIRTUAL currently matches businesses across 195 verified workspace nodes spanning key business hubs across India.
