29 August 2008 my client A foreign company that started a branch as an un-incorporated entity - through registration and approval with reserve bank of India, Does it need RoC registration ? Some information on web sites ( See the links here :http://www.sethassociates.com/incorporation_of_business_entities_in_india.php,
http://www.indianembassy.org/newsite//Doing_business_In_India/Incorporation_of_business.asp,
http://moia.gov.in/showsublink.asp?sublinkid=497)

that include some from Government indicate the entry of a foreign company as one of the two options : as Incorportaed - through RoC and As Un-incorporated - Through RBI.

Some of our colleagues state that it is necessary for both to register with RoC.
Where is the absolute truth?

09 October 2009 If your foriegn company want to be incorporated as company, then & then only company needs to be regd. with ROC.

Foriegn entity may incorporate other kind of business firms in India also like partnership, propreitorship, etc.

So, ROC Registration is not compulsory.
