Change in Name of Company

Rebrand or realign your business identity with seamless ROC compliance.

This is a high-visibility compliance service since a company’s name is its legal identity and brand presence. Changing the name requires shareholder approval, ROC/MCA approval, and often a fresh Certificate of Incorporation.

Why It Matters

A company may wish to change its name for several reasons:

  • Rebranding to match business expansion or new identity
  • Change in objectives or diversification into new sectors
  • Mergers, acquisitions, or restructuring
  • Regulatory directions (avoid similarity/conflict with other registered names or trademarks)

As per the Companies Act, 2013, a change in name requires:

  • Approval of shareholders via special resolution
  • Filing with Registrar of Companies (ROC)
  • Approval from the Central Government (if required)
  • Issuance of a fresh Certificate of Incorporation
  • Failure to comply = penalties + business documentation mismatches with banks, GST, PAN, and contracts.
