Company Name Change

Company Name Change refers to the legal and regulatory process of changing the registered name of a company after following the required approvals and filing procedure. It is a formal corporate action that must be carried out in compliance with the Companies Act and the applicable ROC requirements. A company may choose to change its name for several reasons, such as rebranding, business expansion, change in business focus, restructuring, merger, or simply to adopt a name that better reflects its current identity and operations. A name change is not only a branding decision; it is also a statutory process that affects the company's legal records, constitutional documents, and official registrations. Before the new name can be adopted, the company must complete internal approvals such as board approval and shareholder approval, obtain name approval from the appropriate authority, and complete the necessary ROC filings. After approval, the company must update its name across all legal, financial, and business documents.

Typical timeline

15 to 30 working days depending on name approval and ROC processing.
