I don't know whether this is a correct category for this question but,

Are there any rules or guidelines regarding Letter Head of the Company?

One of the Private Limited Company contains it's Factory Address on its letter head rather than the Registered Address.

Is it right or wrong?

Dear Vinita,

Rules and regulation regarding All company stationery including letterheads, invoices, order notes, delivery notes etc must clearly show all the following information:

The full registered name of the company including the word limited or its abbreviation ltd (or equivalent for a PLC or LLP)
The company registration number
The registered office address, which must be clearly designated as such if different to the trading address. Specific reference to the address as the registered office need not be made if the registered office and trading address are the same, and if this is so, the address need only appear once on the letterhead
It is not necessary to show the names of the directors, but if any are shown, they must all be shown
All company cheques must show the word limited or the abbreviation ltd. Failure in this respect will render the signatory personally liable to the amount of the cheque.

The above rules on display of the correct designation and name of the company must also be clearly shown on any web site operated by the company, Failure in this respect renders the Directors of the company liable to criminal prosecution and may create a personal liability in respect of certain dealings and transactions.

Thanks,

With Regards

Shankar
