Setting up a new business in India? Whether you're launching a Private Limited Company, LLP, or any other entity, one essential document you may need during the company registration process is a No Objection Certificate (NOC) for the use of a premises as your Registered Office address. In this guide, we’ll break down what a NOC is, why it's required, and provide ready-to-use formats and resolutions for companies and LLPs.

What Is a No Objection Certificate (NOC) for Registered Office? 📌

A No Objection Certificate (NOC) is a legal document that provides written consent from the owner or occupant of a property, permitting the use of that address as the Registered Office of another business entity. It is often submitted to the Registrar of Companies (ROC) at the time of company incorporation.

Why Is a NOC Required? ✅

According to the Companies Act, 2013, every company in India must have a Registered Office. If the proposed Registered Office is not owned by the directors or promoters, a NOC is mandatory to prove that the applicant has legal rights to use that space.

Who Can Issue a NOC? 🧾

• Individual property owners
• Companies or LLPs who legally occupy or own the property
• Landlords under a rent/lease agreement
