FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about changing the registered name of a company.

Yes. Subject to the applicable provisions and approvals, a company can change its registered name by following the prescribed corporate and ROC process.

The process generally begins with selecting a suitable proposed name and checking its availability and eligibility under the applicable MCA requirements.

A company name change generally involves the prescribed shareholder approval process, subject to the applicable provisions of company law.

The company's constitutional documents may need to be updated to reflect the new name as part of the name-change process.

No. The proposed name must satisfy the applicable legal and MCA naming requirements and should not create prohibited conflicts with existing names or other protected interests.

The timeline can vary depending on name availability, MCA processing, documentation, approvals and any resubmission requirements.
