Private Limited Company Registration in Odisha

Typically, the entire private limited company registration process takes approximately 7 to 10 working days from the time all required documents are collected and verified. Name approval usually requires 1-3 days, and the final incorporation after filing the SPICe+ form takes 3-7 days, depending on the speed of the ROC Cuttack processing for Odisha businesses.

Yes, a salaried person can certainly be a director in a private limited company. The Companies Act, 2013, does not prohibit a person from holding a salaried job while simultaneously serving as a director in a company, provided there is no conflict of interest or contractual restriction with the employer (subject to the person’s employment contract, employer policies, and conflict-of-interest restrictions).

Yes, you can register a private limited company using your residential address in Odisha as the registered office. You only need to provide proof of the address, such as an electricity bill (not older than two months), and a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the property owner stating their consent.

Currently, the Companies Act, 2013, does not stipulate any minimum authorized capital requirement for the registration of a private limited company. Companies can be incorporated with any amount of authorized capital, such as Rs. 10,000 or Rs. 1,00,000.

Yes, a foreign national can absolutely be a director in your Odisha-based private limited company. However, the company must ensure that at least one director on the board is a Resident of India. The foreign director must also have their identity and address proof apostilled or notarized in their home country.

For foreign directors and shareholders, the identity and address proofs, along with the DIR-2 consent and INC-9 declaration, must be formally attested. If the director resides in a country signatory to the Hague Convention, the documents require an Apostille. Otherwise, the Indian embassy or consulate in that country must notarize the documents.

Companies incorporated in Odisha generally fall under the jurisdiction of the Registrar of Companies (ROC), Cuttack. The ROC handles company incorporation, statutory filings, and other corporate law matters for companies within its jurisdiction.
