    Frequently Asked Questions

    image
    A company name change is a process of altering the registered name of a company with the approval of the Registrar of Companies (ROC) under the Companies Act, 2013. The company’s legal entity remains the same; only the name is updated.
    Businesses usually change their names for reasons like rebranding, mergers or acquisitions, business expansion, change in ownership, diversification of activities, or to align with a new vision or strategy.
    The Registrar of Companies (ROC) approves the name change after receiving approval from shareholders and, in some cases, the Central Government.
    The process generally includes:
    • Board resolution for name change
    • Checking name availability on the MCA portal
    • Passing a special resolution by shareholders
    • Filing Form MGT-7 and Form INC-24 with ROC
    • Issuance of a fresh Certificate of Incorporation with the new name
    The process usually takes 15–30 working days, depending on ROC approvals and the accuracy of documentation.
