Process for Changing the Registered Office of a Company in India
Changing the registered office address of your company involves a series of steps and compliance procedures. Here’s a detailed outline of the process:
1. Board Meeting: -
o Convene a Board meeting to pass a resolution for the change of registered office.
o Decide on the new address and authorize a director or Company Secretary to handle the necessary compliance.
2. Special Resolution (if applicable): -
o If the change is within the same city or jurisdiction, a Board resolution is sufficient.
o If the change is to a different city within the same state, a special resolution must be passed and filed with the RoC in Form MGT-14.
o For a change to another state, obtain approval from shareholders through a special resolution, followed by confirmation from the Regional Director.
3. Notice to Stakeholders: -
o Notify all stakeholders, including banks, government authorities, and other concerned parties, about the change of address.
4. Filing with Registrar of Companies (RoC): -
o Prepare and file Form INC-22 within 30 days of the Board resolution, including required attachments such as:
§ Copy of the Board resolution.
§ Proof of the new registered office address (e.g., utility bill, lease deed).
§ NOC from the owner of the premises if the office is on rented premises.
§ If a special resolution is required, file Form MGT-14 within 30 days of passing the resolution.
5. Regional Director Approval (for inter-state change): -
o File an application in Form INC-23 to the Regional Director for approval.
o Publish a notice of the change in newspapers (vernacular and English) and on the company’s website.
o Obtain confirmation from the Regional Director and file the confirmation with the RoC.
6. Update Company Records: -
o Update the company’s statutory records, including the Register of Members, Register of Directors, and Minute Books.
o Ensure that the new address is updated in all business correspondences, websites, letterheads, and other official documents.
7. Intimate Government Authorities: -
o Inform the Income Tax Department, GST authorities, and any other regulatory bodies about the change of address.
