Company Name Change — Legal Process Under Companies Act 2013
Registered company ka naam change karna sirf ek administrative kaam nahi hai — yeh **Companies Act 2013 Section 13** ke under Memorandum of Association (MOA) ka formal amendment hai jiske liye shareholders ka special resolution (75% majority) aur Registrar of Companies (ROC) ki approval mandatory hoti hai. Ek bhi step miss hone par process incomplete maani jaati hai aur ROC rejection ho sakti hai.
Process ka overview: pehle new naam MCA portal par **RUN form** se reserve karna hota hai. Phir Board Meeting mein board resolution pass karke **EGM (Extraordinary General Meeting)** call ki jaati hai — shareholders ko **21 days advance notice** (Section 101) dena mandatory hai. EGM mein special resolution pass hone ke baad **MGT-14** (30 days ke andar) aur **INC-24** ROC mein file karni hoti hai. ROC approval ke baad fresh **Certificate of Incorporation (COI)** issue hota hai new naam se — yahi naam change ka official proof hai.
Vakilo ke consultants pura process handle karte hain — RUN form se leke fresh COI milne tak, aur uske baad PAN, GST, TAN aur bank account updates mein bhi guide karte hain.
What Does Company Name Change Service Include?
Company name change mein multiple legal steps aur filings involve hote hain. Vakilo par aap India ke consultants se complete name change process support le sakte hain.
New Name Availability & RUN Form
Proposed new naam ki MCA database aur trademark records ke against availability check, aur RUN (Reserve Unique Name) form filing guidance — naam change shuru karne se pehle new naam reserve karna zaroori hai.
Board Resolution Drafting
Company ke directors ki board meeting mein naam change approve karne aur EGM call karne ke liye board resolution draft karna — yeh pehla mandatory step hai Companies Act Section 13 process mein.
EGM Notice (Section 101)
Shareholders ko EGM ke liye 21 days advance notice dena Section 101 ke under mandatory hai — notice mein special resolution ka agenda clearly mention hona chahiye (shorter notice ke liye 95% members' consent chahiye).
Special Resolution & EGM
EGM mein naam change ke liye special resolution pass karein — 75% of members present and voting ka assent chahiye. Written resolution (unanimous consent) se EGM bina physical meeting ke bhi pass ho sakta hai.
MGT-14 Filing
Special resolution pass hone ke 30 days ke andar MGT-14 form ROC mein file karna mandatory hai — special resolution copy aur explanatory statement annexure ke saath.
INC-24 Application
Naam change ke liye ROC mein INC-24 application file karna hoti hai — ROC review karke fresh Certificate of Incorporation (COI) issue karta hai new naam se.
Post-Approval Statutory Updates
Fresh COI milne ke baad PAN (Form 49A), TAN, GST (portal amendment), bank accounts, MOA heading, letterheads, stamps aur contracts update karna hota hai — hamare consultants complete checklist provide karte hain.

Benefits of Completing Company Name Change Correctly
Proper legal process follow karke naam change karna future compliance issues, invalid filings aur legal disputes se bachata hai.
Legally Valid Name Change
Section 13 process ke bina naam change legally valid nahi hoti — company ke sabhi future filings, contracts aur documents old naam se hi maane jaayenge. Proper process se legal continuity protected hoti hai.
CIN Continuity
Naam change ke baad Company Identification Number (CIN) same rehta hai — existing contracts, assets, liabilities, bank accounts sab same entity ke niche continue karte hain. Sirf naam change hota hai, legal entity nahi.
Rebranding Without Legal Disruption
Board resolution + special resolution + ROC approval se naam change ek baar complete ho jaaye toh company operations seamlessly continue hote hain — clients, vendors, banks sab new naam se continue karte hain.
Statutory Compliance Maintained
MGT-14 aur INC-24 timely filing se ROC records update hote hain — penalties se bacha jaata hai aur future annual filings (AOC-4, MGT-7) mein naam discrepancy issues nahi aati.
Post-Change Support
Fresh COI ke baad PAN, GST, bank account update ek systematic process hai — hamare consultants checklist aur guidance se sab updates efficiently complete ho jaate hain.
