Which Registrar of Companies handles Bengaluru?
Company incorporation applications filed through SPICe+ are processed through the MCA’s Central Registration Centre (CRC), so you do not need to visit the RoC office to incorporate. After incorporation, a company with its registered office in Bengaluru or anywhere in Karnataka comes under RoC Bengaluru:
| RoC office | Covers | Address |
|---|---|---|
| RoC Bengaluru | All of Karnataka, including Bengaluru | ‘E’ Wing, 2nd Floor, Kendriya Sadana, Koramangala, Bengaluru – 560034 |
LLP incorporation follows the MCA’s LLP process, and the LLP likewise falls under RoC Bengaluru once incorporated.
