Answer given by the minister

MINISTER OF COMPANY AFFAIRS (SHRI PREM CHAND GUPTA)

(a) No, Sir. There is no such proposal to open an office of Registrar of Companies in Uttranchal. It has been decided in principle not to open any more permanent offices of ROCs in view of the implementation of MCA-21 e-Governance Project which will take care of all the geographical distances as registration & filing of documents would start taking place through electronic means. Moreover, one Physical Front Office (PFO) is proposed to be opened in Dehradun to facilitate all transactions through electronic means. This PFO will remain operational for a period of three years by which time the MCA services are to switch over to electronic mode.

(b),(c)&(d) Does not arise.
