How long does a company name change take?

Typically 15–30 working days after filing MGT-14 and INC-24 with the ROC following a Special Resolution.

Can a company move its registered office to another state?

Yes. It requires Regional Director approval via INC-23 (with a 21-day public notice) followed by INC-22 with the new state's ROC and a MOA amendment. The process takes 60–90 days.

End-to-End MCA Compliance: From Company Incorporation to Structural Changes Under the Companies Act 2013

Incorporating a company in India is just the beginning. As businesses grow, evolve, and respond to market conditions, structural changes become inevitable — a name that no longer fits, a registered office that needs to move, a business object that needs expanding, or a director that needs to be replaced. Every such change requires precise MCA filings under the Companies Act 2013, and errors or delays attract penalties that compound quickly.

Our incorporation and change practice covers the full lifecycle of a company — from SPICe+ incorporation to complex post-incorporation amendments with the Registrar of Companies (ROC), Regional Director (RD), and Central Government where required. We handle forms, board resolutions, special resolutions, and e-filing so your management team can focus on the business.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the SPICe+ form and what does it cover?

SPICe+ (Simplified Proforma for Incorporating Company Electronically Plus) is the integrated MCA form for company incorporation. Part A reserves the company name; Part B applies for incorporation, DIN allotment, PAN, TAN, GSTIN, EPFO, ESIC, and Professional Tax registration simultaneously. It significantly reduces the time and cost of setting up a company compared to the earlier multi-form process.

How long does a typical company name change take?

Once a special resolution is passed and MGT-14 + INC-24 are filed, the ROC typically approves a company name change within 15–30 working days. The company receives a fresh Certificate of Incorporation reflecting the new name. All statutory registers, MOA, AOA, common seal, bank accounts, and GST records must then be updated.

Can a Private Limited Company change its registered office to another state?

Yes, but the process is lengthier. It requires a Special Resolution, filing INC-23 with the Regional Director for approval (which involves a 21-day public notice period), and then INC-22 with the ROC of the new state. The entire process can take 60–90 days. The MOA (which includes the state clause) must also be amended via MGT-14.

What happens if an incorporation change filing is missed?

Late filing attracts additional fees of ₹100 per day per form on top of the normal filing fee. For serious non-compliance (e.g. failure to file a change of directors), the ROC can also initiate prosecution. In some cases, companies are struck off the register. Prompt filing is therefore essential for every post-incorporation event.
