Foreign companies must pay filing fees only to New Delhi Registrar, not state Registrars, per Company Law Board, Section 597(2).

Foreign companies are required to pay filing and registration fees solely to the Registrar of Companies in New Delhi, as per the decision by the Company Law Board. This decision clarifies that these fees are not to be paid to the Registrar of Companies in the state where the company's principal place of business is located, in accordance with section 597(2). However, foreign companies must still file documents and returns with the state Registrar, but without any fees, at the same time they file with the Registrar in New Delhi.
