Hi Kavita,
Yes, you can appoint a Registrar and Share Transfer Agent (RTA) located in Mumbai (or any other city) for a Private Limited Company whose registered office is in Bangalore.
Key points to consider:
-
The company’s registered office and corporate office can be in different locations.
-
Appointment of RTA is governed by the Companies Act, 2013 and SEBI guidelines (if applicable).
-
The RTA acts as an agent handling share transfer, dividend payments, etc., and is not required to be physically located at the registered office.
-
Just ensure proper documentation like Board Resolution appointing the RTA specifying the address and terms.
So, it is perfectly fine and common practice to have the RTA office in Mumbai while the registered office is in Bangalore.
