Physical Verification of Registered Office Address of Company by ROC
In terms of Section 12 of the Companies Act, 2013 (CA 2013), every company within 30 days of its incorporation and at all times thereafter, needs to maintain a registered office (RO) capable of receiving and acknowledging all communications and notices as may be addressed to it.
Special attention to be given to the Notification dated August 18, 2022 inserted a new Rule 25B (New Rule), in the Companies (Incorporation) Rules, 2014 to provide the modus operandi for physical verification of the registered office (RO) of a company by the Registrar which calls for ensuring that compliances at the Registered office are adhered to.
In case of newly incorporated companies, the probability of verification of RO office is high & where the notices sent by RO office is not received by the Company at the RO office due to non-existence of the office itself or non-availability of the company personals triggers the physical verification by ROC officials.
A brief note on maintenance of registered office under Companies Act, 2013 is attached for reference.
Hope the compliances relating to maintenance of registered office are taken care. If not, kindly take care of the same at the earliest. Kindly let us know for any assistance in this regard.
