Firm Registration In Uttar Pradesh
Starting a business in Uttar Pradesh? 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 Noida, Ghaziabad, Lucknow, Kanpur, Varanasi, Agra and Prayagraj file the same way, though requirements vary by business structure.
Kanakkupillai’s CA and CS team helps founders across Uttar Pradesh 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 Uttar Pradesh?
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, the company falls under the Registrar of Companies (RoC) that has jurisdiction over its registered office in Uttar Pradesh. You enter the registered office address in SPICe+, and the MCA assigns the RoC automatically, based on its district and PIN-code mapping, so you do not need to choose or visit an RoC office yourself. Uttar Pradesh has two RoC offices:
| RoC office | Address |
|---|---|
| RoC Uttar Pradesh I (Kanpur) | 2nd Floor, Kendriya Bhawan, GPOA Building, Fazalganj, Kanpur – 208012 |
| RoC Uttar Pradesh II (Noida) | 2nd Floor, Kendriya Bhawan, GPOA Building, Fazalganj, Kanpur – 208012 |
LLP incorporation follows the MCA’s LLP process, and the LLP likewise falls under the RoC for its registered office.
