What is ROC?

The Companies Act of 2013 is administered by the Registrar of Companies (ROC), who also oversees legal compliance, statutory record keeping, and company incorporation.

Each ROC, such as Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai, etc., is allocated a geographic jurisdiction.

Through our website, you can search:

• Company name and CIN (Corporate Identification Number)
• Date of incorporation
• Registered office
• Directors and major officials
• Status of the company (Active, Dormant, Strike Off, etc.)

Role of ROC After Company’s Registration

After a company is incorporated, the ROC continues to play an active role in its existence. Its responsibilities extend much beyond registration:

1. Maintenance of Company Records – The ROC maintains a computerized record of all companies, their status, filings, and records of compliance.
2. Oversight of Statutory Filings – Firms need to file various documents, such as annual returns (Form MGT-7), accounts (Form AOC-4), and event-based filings (e.g., director or capital changes). The ROC ensures the timely and accurate filing of these.
3. Compliance Enforcement – The ROC enforces compliance with the Companies Act, 2013. Companies that do not comply can be issued notices, penalized, or even struck off the register.
4. Approval of Key Corporate Changes – Any basic change in a company, such as a name change, change of registered office, increase in authorized capital, or merger, must be approved beforehand or notified to the ROC.
5. Public Access to Company Information – The ROC provides public access to essential company information. Stakeholders, investors, and the general public can view company information to make informed decisions.
6. Facilitating Winding Up and Closure – ROC also gets requests for company closure on voluntary (strike-off) or liquidation grounds. It ensures all legal requirements have been completed before deregistering a company from the books.

ROC Refusal for Company Registration

The Registrar of Companies (ROC) is responsible for scrutinizing and approving applications for company registration under the Companies Act, 2013. While most applications proceed smoothly, the ROC can refuse registration if specific requirements are not met.

Some common reasons for which the ROC can reject a company registration application are mentioned below:

• Incomplete or inaccurate documents – Unsigned statements, missing forms, or incomplete attachments normally lead to rejections.
• Non-availability of the proposed company name – If it is similar to or as close as possible to another company's name or violates naming provisions according to the Companies (Incorporation) Rules, 2014, the ROC will reject it.
• Analysis of legal norms – Registration will not be issued if the company's purpose is illegal, immoral, or against the law of India.
• Mismatch of information – Variations in the director details, location of the registered office, or capital structure will raise suspicion about the application.
• Non-compliance with the minimum requirements – Inability to provide the specified number of directors, shareholders, or statutory share capital may result in refusal.

In case your application is rejected, the ROC will inform you of the reasons for rejection. You may rectify the errors and reapply with suitable documents and explanations.

Professional help from company secretaries or lawyers can increase the prospect of a successful application.
