Business Registration in Odisha
Starting a business in Odisha? You can incorporate a Private Limited Company, One Person Company (OPC), LLP or Section 8 Company online, without visiting an MCA office. Companies are incorporated through the MCA’s SPICe+ system, while LLPs follow the MCA’s LLP incorporation process. The core MCA incorporation process is centralised, so founders in Bhubaneswar, Cuttack, Rourkela, Puri, Sambalpur and Berhampur file the same way, though requirements vary by business structure.
Kanakkupillai’s CA and CS team helps founders across Odisha choose the right structure, prepare the documents and file the application online, from the first name check to the Certificate of Incorporation.

Which Registrar of Companies handles Odisha?
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 anywhere in Odisha comes under RoC Cuttack:
| RoC office | Covers | Address |
|---|---|---|
| RoC Cuttack (RoC-cum-Official Liquidator) | All of Odisha, including Bhubaneswar, Cuttack, Rourkela, Puri and Sambalpur | Ministry of Corporate Affairs, Corporate Bhawan, 2nd & 3rd Floor, Plot No. 9(P), Sector-1, CDA, Cuttack – 753014 |
Companies with a registered office in Bhubaneswar also come under RoC Cuttack; there is no separate RoC in the capital. LLP incorporation follows the MCA’s LLP process, and the LLP likewise falls under RoC Cuttack once incorporated.
