[1] There are currently 25 Registrars of Companies (ROC) operating from offices in all major states of India.

Section 609 of the Companies Act, 1956 tasks the ROCs with the primary duty of registering companies and LLPs floated in the respective states and the union territories under their administration.

The ROCs also ensure that LLPs comply with the statutory requirements under the LLP Act.

The office of the ROC maintains a registry of records related to companies registered with them, and permits the general public to access this data on payment of a fee.

The Union Government maintains administrative control over ROCs through Regional Directors.
