Approval Services — ROC, RD & HQ
Preparing and filing petitions for matters that need approval from the Registrar, the Regional Director or MCA headquarters, rather than a routine ROC filing.
Certain company law matters — such as an inter-state shift of registered office, conversion of a public company to private, extension of the financial year, or compounding of certain offences — require approval from an authority above the jurisdictional Registrar, typically the Regional Director or, in some cases, the Central Government acting through MCA headquarters. These applications involve a formal petition, supporting resolutions, notice to creditors or the public where required, and often a hearing before the authority.

Inter-State Office Shift
Moving a registered office across states requires Regional Director approval.
Public to Private Conversion
Converting a public company to private requires approval under the Act's prescribed process.
Financial Year Extension
Aligning a company's financial year with a holding company abroad needs Regional Director or Tribunal approval.

Why these approvals need specialist handling
What sets our approach apart.
Petitions are scrutinised more closely
Regional Director and MCA HQ applications typically receive more detailed review than routine ROC filings.
Notice requirements are easy to get wrong
Creditor consent and public notice procedures have specific formats and timelines that must be followed precisely.
A rejected petition costs time twice over
A poorly prepared application risks rejection, requiring the notice and filing process to be repeated.
