Change In Name of Company

Change in Name of Company

A company may need to change its name due to rebranding, business pivot, merger, acquisition, or trademark conflicts. A Company Name Change is done by passing a Special Resolution at an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) and filing Form INC-24 with the MCA. A fresh Certificate of Incorporation is issued with the new name.

When Can a Company Change Its Name?

• Rebranding or business transformation requiring a new identity.
• Acquisition or merger with another company.
• Trademark conflict requiring a name change to avoid infringement.
• MCA or ROC direction to change name due to conflict with an existing company.
• Change in business focus requiring a more relevant name.

Process

1. Conduct a board meeting and pass a board resolution proposing the name change.
2. Reserve the new name via RUN (Reserve Unique Name) form on the MCA portal.
3. Hold an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) and pass a special resolution for name change.
4. File Form MGT-14 with the special resolution within 30 days of EGM.
5. File Form INC-24 with MCA for final approval of the name change.
6. Receive fresh Certificate of Incorporation with the new company name from ROC.
7. Update PAN, TAN, GST registration, bank account, and all business records with the new name.
