List of Registrar of Companies (RoC) in India – Updated Jurisdiction List (2026)
What is a Registrar of Companies (RoC)?
The Registrar of Companies (RoC) is the officer appointed by the Central Government under Section 396 of the Companies Act, 2013, to register companies and LLPs and to administer the Companies Act, 2013 and the Limited Liability Partnership Act, 2008 within an assigned territorial jurisdiction. Every company and LLP is registered with, and continues to file its statutory returns and forms to, the RoC having jurisdiction over the state or region where its registered office is located.
The RoC office corresponding to a company’s registered office is also encoded in the second part of its CIN (the state code), which is why any change in RoC jurisdiction matters directly to CS, CA, and compliance professionals handling incorporation and filings.
Why the RoC List Changed in 2026
Until late 2025, India had one RoC per state/UT (with a couple of long-standing exceptions such as Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu, which already had two RoCs each — Mumbai and Pune, and Chennai and Coimbatore, respectively). By Notification S.O. 4850(E) dated 23rd October 2025, issued under Section 396(1) and (2) of the Companies Act, 2013, the MCA established 10 new/restructured RoC offices covering Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, and West Bengal, splitting large, high-filing-volume states into smaller jurisdictions to improve processing and oversight.
The change was originally to take effect from 1 January 2026 but was deferred and finally came into force from 16 February 2026, per the MCA’s subsequent notification/press communication confirming the effective date.
Practical impact: Companies with a registered office in the affected districts now file with, and correspond with, their new RoC — not the erstwhile single state-level RoC. Existing CIN numbers are not changed retrospectively; the new jurisdiction applies going forward for filings, approvals, and correspondence.

Note on Maharashtra: The pre-existing RoC, Pune (covering Pune, Kolhapur, Sangli, Satara, Solapur and adjoining districts) continues to operate alongside the new Mumbai-I, Mumbai-II and Nagpur RoCs — Maharashtra now effectively has four RoC jurisdictions in place of the earlier two (Mumbai and Pune).
RoC Offices Covering Other States and UTs (Unchanged)
These RoCs were not affected by the October 2025 restructuring and continue to operate on their existing state/UT-wide jurisdiction:
| State / UT | RoC Office |
|---|---|
| Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, Chandigarh (UT) | RoC, Chandigarh (Punjab & HP) |
| Rajasthan | RoC, Jaipur |
| Gujarat, Dadra & Nagar Haveli, Daman & Diu | RoC, Ahmedabad |
| Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh | RoC, Gwalior |
| Karnataka | RoC, Bengaluru |
| Tamil Nadu (Chennai region) | RoC, Chennai |
| Tamil Nadu (Coimbatore region) | RoC, Coimbatore |
| Telangana | RoC, Hyderabad |
| Andhra Pradesh | RoC, Andhra Pradesh (Vijayawada/Guntur) |
| Kerala, Lakshadweep | RoC, Kerala (Ernakulam) |
| Odisha | RoC, Cuttack |

| Uttarakhand | RoC, Uttarakhand |
| Goa | RoC, Goa |
| Puducherry | Falls under RoC, Chennai |
| Andaman & Nicobar Islands | Falls under RoC, Kolkata (relevant jurisdiction) |
| Chandigarh (LLP registrations, all-India) | Registrar of LLPs, Chandigarh |
These jurisdictions should always be cross-checked against the current list on the official MCA “Registrar of Companies” contact page, since minor boundary or nomenclature adjustments are notified from time to time.
How This Affects Filings and Practice
- New incorporations (SPICe+): The RoC field auto-populates based on the registered office address/PIN code entered on the MCA portal, so incorporation filings after 16 February 2026 in the affected districts will automatically route to the correct new RoC.
- Existing companies: No fresh CIN is issued and no action is required from the company merely because of the jurisdiction change — the applicable RoC for future correspondence, inspections, and approvals (e.g., Regional Director/RoC approval applications) simply shifts to the new office covering that district.
- Physical correspondence and hearings: Any physical letters, RD applications, or in-person compliance matters (e.g., compounding, adjudication proceedings) should now be addressed to the new RoC office having jurisdiction over the district of the registered office.
- Registered office change across RoCs: A change of registered office that now crosses over from one RoC’s jurisdiction to another’s (even within the same state, e.g., Kanpur RoC to NOIDA RoC in UP) may require the inter-RoC transfer procedure rather than a simple intra-RoC address update — check applicability under Section 12(5) and the relevant e-Form (INC-22/INC-23) before filing.
Key Takeaways
- The MCA restructured RoC jurisdictions in Delhi, UP, Maharashtra, and West Bengal via Notification S.O. 4850(E) dated 23 October 2025, effective 16 February 2026.
- Delhi and UP now each have two RoCs; Maharashtra now has four (Mumbai-I, Mumbai-II, Nagpur, and the pre-existing Pune RoC); West Bengal has two (Kolkata-I and Kolkata-II).
- Haryana continues to be served by the RoC at Chandigarh.
- No action is needed for existing CINs; the change affects future filings, correspondence, and jurisdiction-based procedures only.
- Always verify current RoC jurisdiction against the official MCA RoC contact page before addressing physical correspondence or RD/RoC applications.
