RJSC

In Bangladesh, the registration of Joint Stock Companies is overseen by the Office of the Registrar of Joint Stock Companies and Firms (RJSC). RJSC is under the Ministry of Commerce and is responsible for maintaining and updating the company registry.

The primary function of the RJSC is to ensure compliance with the Companies Act, 1994, and related regulations. It maintains records of all registered companies, including their financial statements, annual returns, and other relevant documents. The registry also handles the incorporation of new companies, amendments to existing companies, and dissolution of companies.

Here are the main types of registries maintained by the RJSC:

Company Registration: The RJSC registers and maintains the records of all types of companies incorporated in Bangladesh, including private limited companies, public limited companies, foreign companies, and others.

Memorandum and Articles of Association: The registry keeps copies of the Memorandum of Association and Articles of Association of registered companies. These documents outline the company's objectives, rules, and regulations.

Shareholder Information: The RJSC maintains information related to the shareholders of registered companies, including their names, addresses, shareholdings, and any changes in share ownership.

Financial Statements and Annual Returns: Registered companies are required to file their financial statements and annual returns with the RJSC. These documents provide information about the company's financial performance, shareholders, directors, and other relevant details.

Directors and Officers: The registry maintains information about the directors and officers of registered companies, including their names, addresses, and positions held within the company.

It's important to note that specific procedures and requirements may vary depending on the type of company and the nature of the registration. The RJSC website provides detailed information, forms, and guidelines for the registration and maintenance of companies in Bangladesh.
