Company registration in Mumbai
Registered under ROC Mumbai-I, for a registered office in Mumbai or Mumbai Suburban
Your registered office decides which Registrar of Companies handles the filing. Since the 2026 reorganisation, ROC Mumbai-I covers only Mumbai and Mumbai Suburban districts, so an address in Thane or Navi Mumbai is a different office. We check that before we reserve a name. For the national picture, see company registration in India.

Which Registrar of Companies handles a Mumbai incorporation
ROC Mumbai-I, headquartered in Mumbai, handles it, and since the 2026 reorganisation its jurisdiction is Mumbai district and Mumbai Suburban district only.
That is a real change and it is the reason to read this page rather than a generic one. The Ministry of Corporate Affairs re-notified ten Registrar of Companies offices by notification S.O. 4850(E) dated 23 October 2025, with effect from 16 February 2026 (the original 1 January 2026 start was deferred). The old single ROC Mumbai was split. ROC Mumbai-II at Navi Mumbai now covers Thane, Raigad, Palghar, Nashik, Dhule, Jalgaon, Nandurbar and Aurangabad, and ROC Nagpur covers central and eastern Maharashtra.
For an incorporation this matters at the moment you fix the registered office. A Lower Parel or Andheri address is ROC Mumbai-I. A Thane, Vashi or Airoli address, which many founders treat as "Mumbai" in ordinary speech, is ROC Mumbai-II. Both are valid, but they are different offices, and an application filed on the wrong assumption about jurisdiction is a wasted name reservation.
It matters even more later. Moving a registered office from Thane into Mumbai is now a change of Registrar within the same state, not a simple address change. That route needs a special resolution and Regional Director confirmation on INC-23 followed by INC-28, rather than a bare INC-22. If you expect to shift from a suburb into the island city within a year or two, say so at the start and we will factor it in.
The Regional Director for a Mumbai company is the Regional Director (Western Region) at Mumbai. The rest of Maharashtra moved to the new Regional Director (WR-II) at Navi Mumbai from 16 February 2026, so a Pune or Nashik company no longer goes to Mumbai for Regional Director approvals.
What Maharashtra adds to the cost, and what we will not put a number on
Stamp duty. Maharashtra stamp duty on the Memorandum and Articles is a state charge that scales with authorised capital. We quote it to you before we file. We do not publish a figure, because the only schedule we could locate is an undated compilation from 2011 and Maharashtra's stamp schedule has been amended repeatedly since. Any page quoting you a precise Maharashtra figure is quoting that document.
Professional tax. Maharashtra levies professional tax under the Maharashtra State Tax on Professions, Trades, Callings and Employments Act, 1975, and registration on MahaGST carries no government fee. There are two registrations: enrolment, which is the company's own liability at a flat ₹2,500 a year, and the employer registration, under which you deduct from salaries. The employer slabs are nil up to ₹7,500 a month, ₹175 a month from ₹7,501 to ₹10,000, and ₹200 a month above ₹10,000 with ₹300 in February, which comes to ₹2,500 for the year. Women earning up to ₹25,000 a month have been exempt since 1 April 2023.
The return dates changed by an amendment to Rule 11(3) on 28 February 2026 and most Mumbai advisers have not caught up. Monthly returns are now due by the 15th of the following month and the annual return by 15 March. The enrolment payment date was not part of that change. You file monthly if your professional tax in the previous year was ₹50,000 or more, annually if it was less, and monthly in your first year of registration regardless.
Gumasta, and the certificate you will not get. Maharashtra's shops law is the Maharashtra Shops and Establishments (Regulation of Employment and Conditions of Service) Act, 2017. If your establishment has fewer than ten workers there is no registration, no fee and no certificate: you file a one-time intimation in Form F within 60 days of starting, and that is the whole obligation. At ten or more workers you register in Form A on Aaple Sarkar and pay a fee on a slab by headcount. More on the route on our Shop and Establishment registration page.
Tell your bank this before it asks. Mumbai relationship managers routinely ask a two-person company for a "Gumasta licence" that the law no longer issues to it, and the acknowledged Form F intimation is what you have instead.
A trade licence is usually the wrong ask. The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation licenses specified trades, such as eating houses and lodging houses. An ordinary Mumbai office or shop does not take a BMC trade licence; it sits under the Gumasta route above. If you are opening a restaurant or a hotel, the BMC licence is real and separate, and we will tell you which category you fall in.
The four labour codes came into force on 21 November 2025, and a factory in Maharashtra is now regulated under the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020 rather than the Factories Act.
What a new Mumbai company usually needs alongside incorporation
Most Mumbai companies take a GSTIN early, because the ₹40 lakh goods and ₹20 lakh services thresholds are irrelevant the moment you supply goods to a buyer in another state, and Maharashtra is not a special category state, so there is no lower figure to hunt for. See GST registration for the national position.
Alongside that, the Maharashtra professional tax enrolment and employer registration described above, the Form F intimation or Form A registration under the 2017 Act, and a Udyam registration in Mumbai if you want MSME standing for payment-delay protection. A brand usually means trademark registration in Mumbai, and fund-raising plans usually mean Startup India recognition as well.
How Regikart serves Mumbai
We do not have an office in Mumbai. Regikart's offices are Kolkata (head office), Delhi and Bengaluru, and Mumbai work is done remotely from one of them. Everything an incorporation needs travels well: scans by WhatsApp or email on +91 70444 94804 or [email protected], Digital Signature Certificate video KYC on your phone, and the SPICe+ filing on the MCA portal. Nothing is delivered in person and no ROC visit is needed, because SPICe+ is processed online by the Central Registration Centre. We say this plainly because a page that hints at a Mumbai branch it does not have is lying to you on the first screen.
Everything you need to incorporate in Mumbai.
