20 April 2011 As per Section 163 of the Companies Act, 1956, registers, indexes and copies of certificates and documents or any or more of them may instead of being kept at the registered office of the company be kept at any other place within the city, town or village in which the registered office is situtated subject to passing of special resolution and giving advance copy of the SR to ROC.

However there is no provision for keeping the registers, etc. in another city or state.
