Company Registration
in Kolkata —
Expert. Trusted. 7 Days.

Company registrations in Kolkata and all of West Bengal fall under the Registrar of Companies, West Bengal — located at Nizam Palace, 2nd MSO Building, 3rd Floor, 234/4, A.J.C. Bose Road, Kolkata – 700020. The ROC West Bengal office also has jurisdiction over the Andaman & Nicobar Islands. All filings are made digitally through the MCA21 portal. Sirus Infotech has filed 400+ company incorporations under ROC Kolkata — we know the exact timelines (typically 3–5 working days for Certificate of Incorporation), officer query patterns, and Bengal-specific name approval requirements that first-time filers frequently miss.

Both are excellent choices, each with distinct strategic advantages. Salt Lake Sector V — recognised as Bengal Silicon Valley Hub — has TCS, Wipro, Infosys and 1,200+ IT companies, conferring strong institutional credibility for B2B IT services. A Sector V registered office signals seriousness to large corporate and government clients. New Town Rajarhat offers modern HIDCO-developed commercial space at lower cost, active startup incubators, proximity to the airport, and strong infrastructure. For early-stage startups, New Town offers a better cost-to-image ratio. For established IT firms targeting enterprise clients, Sector V carries more weight. Our CA team advises based on your specific client profile and funding stage before finalising the registered office address.

West Bengal IT & ITES Policy 2024–29 provides Kolkata IT companies with: capital investment subsidy up to 25% of project cost (max ₹2 crore), stamp duty exemption on property purchase or lease, power cost reimbursement at ₹1 per unit for IT operations, EPF employment subsidy for new hires, and priority allocation at IT parks in Sector V, New Town and Durgapur. Eligibility: incorporated as Pvt Ltd or LLP, minimum investment of ₹5 lakhs, operations within West Bengal. Additionally, DPIIT Startup India recognition (which we file simultaneously with company registration) opens access to angel tax exemption, 3-year income tax holiday under Section 80-IAC, and fast-track patent processing — critical advantages for Kolkata's growing startup community.

Yes — this is one of the most common requests from Kolkata's century-old trading families in jute, tea, textiles, and wholesale distribution. Converting a Partnership Firm to Private Limited Company involves: executing a Dissolution/Retirement deed for the partnership, incorporating a fresh Pvt Ltd company with the same business objectives via SPICe+ with ROC West Bengal, transferring assets, goodwill, and business relationships to the new entity. The new Pvt Ltd preserves the trade name, bank relationships, and GST registration (via amendment). Sirus Infotech has converted 60+ Kolkata family firms — including jute exporters, tea traders, and real estate partnerships — with zero business interruption during the transition.

Every Kolkata Private Limited Company under ROC West Bengal must comply annually: (1) Annual Return — MGT-7 or MGT-7A (small companies), filed within 60 days of AGM; (2) Financial Statements — AOC-4, filed within 30 days of AGM; (3) Statutory Audit by a CA — mandatory regardless of turnover; (4) Board Meetings — minimum 4 per year with 21-day notice; (5) Director KYC — DIR-3 KYC annually for all directors; (6) Income Tax Return ITR-6 for the company; (7) GST returns if registered. Penalty for late ROC filings: ₹200 per day per form — which accumulates rapidly. Sirus Infotech offers annual compliance packages for Kolkata companies from ₹8,999/year, ensuring you never miss an ROC West Bengal deadline.

Registration does not automatically confer DPIIT recognition — it is a separate application on the Startup India portal (startupindia.gov.in). Eligibility for Kolkata startups: incorporated as Pvt Ltd, LLP or Partnership; company not older than 10 years; annual turnover not exceeding ₹100 crore; working towards innovation, development or improvement; not formed by splitting or restructuring an existing business. DPIIT recognition benefits: 3-year income tax exemption under Section 80-IAC (after approval from CBDT); angel tax exemption on funding; fast-track IP protection; self-certification under 9 labour laws and 3 environmental laws; access to ₹10,000 crore Fund of Funds. Sirus Infotech files DPIIT applications for Kolkata startups immediately after company registration — typically within 24 hours of receiving the Certificate of Incorporation.
