The registered office in Punjab

The address you file as the registered office decides three things: that Punjab’s government fee applies, that ROC Chandigarh handles your filings, and where statutory notices are served. It does not have to be where the directors live.

You need proof of the address: a rent agreement or ownership document, a no-objection certificate from the owner, and a utility bill not older than two months. A home works if the owner signs; when they will not, or the flat is in another state, founders use a commercial virtual office in Punjab as the registered office.

Company registration in Punjab: questions founders ask

How much does private limited company registration cost in Punjab?

₹18,999 all-in: the Punjab government fee of ₹11,468 plus SimplySetup’s flat professional fee of ₹7,500 (digital signatures, practitioner certification and service). GST at 18% applies to the professional fee only.

Is Punjab an expensive state to register a company in?

Punjab’s government fee is the 27th lowest of the 27 states we file in — one of the more expensive states to incorporate in. The range runs from ₹1,443 in Sikkim to ₹11,468 in Punjab. The difference is stamp duty, which each state sets for the memorandum, articles and incorporation form.

Which Registrar of Companies handles Punjab?

ROC Chandigarh has jurisdiction over companies with a registered office in Punjab. The office is decided by the registered office address you file, not by where the directors live, and every later filing (annual returns, changes of directors, charges) goes to the same office.

Can I register a company in Punjab if I live somewhere else?

Yes. Any Indian resident or foreign national can be a director, and at least one director must have lived in India for 182 days in the previous year. What has to be in Punjab is the registered office, with a rent agreement, owner’s NOC and a recent utility bill. A commercial virtual office in Punjab satisfies that requirement.

When does a new company in Punjab need GST?

When turnover crosses the state threshold — ₹40 lakh for goods and ₹20 lakh for services in Punjab — or from day one if you sell to other states, through an online marketplace, or want to claim input credit. The GSTIN will start with 03, the Punjab state code. Punjab also levies professional tax, so register for it once you hire.

What does an LLP cost in Punjab?

LLP registration in Punjab is quoted with government fees at actuals and our service fee itemised separately. An LLP is filed with the same Registrar using FiLLiP instead of SPICe+, and the LLP agreement is stamped under Punjab’s stamp duty schedule, which is why the government part varies by state.
