The registered office in West Bengal
The address you file as the registered office decides three things: that West Bengal’s government fee applies, that ROC Kolkata 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 West Bengal as the registered office.
