Odisha — the local picture for company secretary services

Odisha is a steel, aluminium and mining economy — Rourkela, Angul, Jharsuguda and the Paradip port and petrochemical complex — with Bhubaneswar growing as an IT and services centre and Cuttack as the traditional trading hub. Mining lease holders, EPC contractors and plant suppliers form the corporate base, and Startup Odisha is an active state programme. Companies file with ROC-cum-OL Cuttack, litigate before the Orissa High Court at Cuttack, and NCLT Cuttack and ITAT Cuttack hear company and tax matters. For company secretary services this means incorporation and annual filings go to ROC-cum-OL Cuttack, the Odisha Shops and Commercial Establishments Act, 1956 applies from the first employee, and professional tax is applicable.
