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.
