Registered Office Change

Changing a company’s registered office is a common administrative process that necessitates strict adherence to corporate regulations. This involves updating the official address where the company’s statutory registers and records are maintained and where official communications are received. The procedure typically requires board approval, followed by the filing of specific forms with the Registrar of Companies (ROC), such as Form INC-22, within a prescribed timeframe. For changes involving a shift to a different state, the process becomes more complex, requiring special resolutions and potentially National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) approval. Properly executing a registered office change ensures ongoing legal compliance, avoids penalties, and keeps all official records accurate and up-to-date.
