Change Company Name in India — MCA Filing & ROC Approval | Beyonte Compliances

Company Law · Name Change

Change Company Name a seamless name change with full ROC compliance.

Changing a company's name is a procedure-intensive process under the Companies Act, 2013. Every step — from reserving the new name to obtaining the fresh Certificate of Incorporation — must follow the prescribed statutory sequence, and any procedural lapse can result in rejection or delay by the Registrar of Companies.

Under the Companies Act, 2013, a company may change its name by passing a special resolution and obtaining the prior approval of the Registrar of Companies. The process begins with a Name Availability Check on the MCA21 portal using the RUN form, followed by a Board Meeting, an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) for the special resolution, and filing of INC-24 with the ROC.

At Beyonte Compliances, we manage every step — from verifying name availability and ensuring compliance with the Companies (Incorporation) Rules, 2014, to preparing resolutions, filing INC-24, and obtaining the fresh Certificate of Incorporation. We also assist with post-approval updates — PAN, TAN, GST, bank accounts, and statutory registers.
