We are a Sec.25 company whose regd. office is in Mumbai but all our operations are done from Delhi. We are maintaining proper books of account in Delhi. Is it necessary to maintain and keep books in Mumbai office even if our principal office is in Delhi? What will be formalities to be complied with if we want to maintain our books in Delhi.
Is this requirement to be complied with for the books apart from statutory books? I want to know specifically about Accounting books and all voucher records. We want to keep them at Delhi.

Yes, the procedure stated by Mr. Bansal is SPECIFICALLY for Books of Accounts only and not for statutory books.
For statutory books you cannot keep at any other place than registered office.
However by passing special resolution and filing Form with registrar it can be kept at any other place but WITHIN CITY WHERE REGISTERED OFFICE IS LOCATED.
