RoC Goa is the Registrar of Companies cum Official Liquidator at Company Law Bhawan, Patto, Panaji. It keeps the records of every company and LLP registered in Goa, and in Daman and Diu, examines their non-STP filings and issues penalty orders for late or missed filings.

What RoC Goa handles, and what goes elsewhere<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Most filings are made online on the MCA V3 portal, and several of them are never seen by RoC Goa at all. The routing is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Work<\/th>Who handles it<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>
Name reservation and incorporation (SPICe+, FiLLiP)<\/td>Central Registration Centre (CRC), Manesar<\/td><\/tr>
Annual returns and financial statements (MGT-7\/7A, AOC-4, LLP Form 8 and 11)<\/td>Taken on record by MCA; the records sit with RoC Goa<\/td><\/tr>
Straight-through (STP) event forms<\/td>Approved automatically by the system<\/td><\/tr>
Non-STP event forms<\/td>A notified set goes to the Central Processing Centre (CPC), Manesar; the rest are examined by RoC Goa<\/td><\/tr>
Penalties under section 454 (adjudication)<\/td>RoC Goa as adjudicating officer; appeal to the Regional Director within 60 days<\/td><\/tr>

So if a Goa company receives a resubmission request or a show-cause notice, it is usually from RoC Goa or the CPC. If it wants to shift out of Goa, the application goes to Mumbai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Daman and Diu, and Dadra and Nagar Haveli<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Daman and Diu has been one Union Territory with Dadra and Nagar Haveli since 2020, but for company law the two parts are still split. Companies registered in Daman and Diu sit with RoC Goa and the Regional Director in Mumbai. Under the February 2026 regional notification, Dadra and Nagar Haveli falls under the Regional Director, North-Western Region, Ahmedabad. If you are unsure which Registrar holds a company, check the \u201cROC\u201d field in its master data on the MCA portal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
