Introduction
Until February 2026, a single Registrar office in Mumbai handled filings for much of Maharashtra, from the island city to Vidarbha. That has now changed: the work is divided across three offices, so the district of your registered office decides who reviews your application. Founders in Thane, Navi Mumbai or Nashik will notice the most change, but settle it first when planning private company registration in Mumbai or elsewhere in the state, as the documents, fees and timing follow.
What Is Private Limited Company Registration in Maharashtra?
