Approval Services ROC, RD and HQ petitions, handled.

ROC, Regional Director, and Central Government approval services in Mumbai and across India — condonation of delay, compounding of offences, name change, conversion, and inter-state office shifting petitions, drafted and pursued to order.

Many corporate actions cannot be completed by a simple ROC filing alone — they need the prior approval of an authority. Depending on the action, that authority may be the Registrar of Companies, the Regional Director, or the Central Government headquarters. These are formal, petition-based processes with their own documentation, hearings, and timelines.

Approval-based matters include condonation of delay where a filing was missed, compounding of offences to settle a default without prosecution, conversion of a company from one type to another, change of name or object, shifting the registered office between states, and various reliefs sought from the Regional Director. Each requires a properly drafted application, supporting evidence, and often representation before the authority.

Our approval services practice prepares and pursues these petitions end to end — assessing which authority has jurisdiction, drafting the application and affidavits, assembling supporting documents, filing the petition, and representing the company through the hearing and order. We handle ROC-level approvals, Regional Director petitions, and matters that go to the Central Government, so complex corporate actions are completed correctly.
