Administrative setup of MCA

The MCA Portal, which functions under overall direction and supervision of the Minister of Company Affairs, has a three tier organizational set-up for administration of the Act, namely:

1. Headquarters at New Delhi.

2. Regional Directors (RD) at Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai and Noida

3. Registrar of Companies (RoC) in States and Union Territories

The Official Liquidators who are attached to various High Courts functioning in the country are also under the overall administrative control of the Ministry. The Company Law Board, a quasi-judicial body, has its Principal Bench at Delhi, an additional Principal Bench for Southern States at Chennai and four Regional Benches located at Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata and Chennai.

The four Regional Directors are in-charge of the respective regions, each region comprising a number of States and Union Territories. They supervise the working of the offices of the RoCs and the Official Liquidators working in their regions. They also maintain liaison with the respective State Governments and the Central Government in matters relating to the administration of the Companies Act. Certain powers of the Central Government under the Act have been delegated to the Regional Directors. There is also an inspection unit attached to the office of every Regional Director for carrying out the inspection of the books of accounts of companies' u/s 209A of the Companies Act.

RoCs appointed u/s 609 of the Companies Act and covering the various States and Union Territories are vested with the primary duty of registering companies in the respective States and the Union Territories and ensuring that such companies comply with statutory requirements under the Act. These offices function as registry of records, relating to the companies registered with them, which are available for inspection by members of public on payment of the prescribed fee. The Central Government exercises administrative control over these offices through the respective Regional Directors.

Registrar is a person who keeps the Register for a particular purpose. It may be The Registrar of Co or Registrar of Societies, etc. It basically depends upon the particular Act.
