Maintenance of Registered Office

Maintenance of Registered Office

The registered office of the company is the official address of the company where any communication relating to the company is sent. As it is a public record therefore different Government Departments and other organizations use the same record to communicate with the Company. The registered office of the Company is decided at the time of incorporation of the Company. Later on, at any stage, we can change the registered office of the Company by following the procedure laid down under the Companies Act,2013.

Incorporation of a company

A company shall, within thirty days of its incorporation and at all times thereafter, have a registered office capable of receiving and acknowledging all communications and notices as may be addressed to it. The company must file necessary address proof such as conveyance/lease deed/rent agreement etc and a copy of the utility bill (not older than two months) at the time of incorporation. In case the company has not decided the registered office of the company during the process of incorporation, then the company may provide the temporary correspondence address.

Change in Registered Office of a company

Once the registered office of the company is registered, the same can be changed at any stage. For changing the registered office-appropriate procedure is to be followed. Notice of every change of the situation of the registered office, after the date of incorporation of the company, shall be given to the Registrar within thirty days of the change, who shall record the same.

Registered Office outside limit of any city

In case of change of registered office of a company, outside the local limits of any city, town or village, then the change of registered office must be approved by a special resolution passed by the Company.

Change of Registered Office from one jurisdiction to another

If the registered office of a company is to be changed from the jurisdiction of one registrar to the jurisdiction of another Registrar, then the change in registered office must be approved by the Regional Director.

Affixing of Company’s signage

Every company shall paint or affix its name, and the address of its registered office, and keep the same painted or affixed, on the outside of every office or place in which its business is carried on, in a conspicuous position, in legible letters.

Relevant Sections of the Companies Act, 2013

(i) as per Section 7(4) of the Companies Act, 2013 “The company shall maintain and preserve at its registered office, copies of all documents and information as originally filed under sub-section (1) till its dissolution under this Act.

(ii) as per Section 12(1) of the Companies Act, 2013 “A company shall (within 30 days of its incorporation) and all times thereafter, have a registered office capable of receiving & acknowledging all communications and notices as may be addressed to it.” It means, the company should never be without a registered office address and facility to received mail & notices, etc.

Therefore, it is our free advice that you should never give a chance to the Registrar of Companies to take actions for non-compliance for the failure of maintenance of the registered office.

Penal action for non-maintenance of Registered Office

The Registrar of Companies takes action as per the following sections on the Company as well as the Directors for not maintaining a registered office.

(i) Section 12(9) – Fine of Rs.1,000/- per day (Max. One Lakh) on Company as well as on all Directors.

(ii) Section 447– punishment for fraud.

(iii) Section 448– punishment for false statement

(iv) Section 449– punishment for false evidence.

It is advised that the Tenant Company should take a Table Space and put a Name Tally on the door & table space, in case you feel that someone may visit your registered office for inspection from ROC or GST or any other authority.

    Sir, We have a number of clients already in hand who require a rent agreement, noc, and electricity bill signed by the owner of the premises in addition to registered office services from any person or company. It may be noted that complete compliance of Section 12 of the companies act, 2013 is required. We also get enquiries from Govt departments to provide further documents to prove that the signatory is the only owner of the premises. If you can provide us with documents and services, you kindly let us know here on this website itself. Thanking you sincerely.

    1. Sir, I am the owner of the premises. I will give you all the required documents for any number of companies you want to register in Delhi. The difference in the address will be the suite number allotted for each company. It is similar to having separate room number on Hotel premises.

  8. I took the Virtual Office for 5 years from Mr. Sahota. This cost me the lowest rate of Rs.500 per month. On my research over Google, I could not find anyone providing Virtual Office at such a low rate. The best thing I found here is that it is managed by the owner himself. The clarity in rates and services is the best one.
