Company Name Change

Changing Business Name. To Fit Your Needs.

     

    A company or LLP can change its name at any time upon its incorporation. Also, in case it is discovered that the name was applied by providing wrong or incorrect details, then the name of the company needs to be changed. When any change in the name of the company is made, then the ROC shall enter the new name in the register of companies in place of the old name and issue a fresh Certificate of Incorporation with the new name.

    Changing the name of a company which has defaulted in filling its annual returns or financial statements or any other document due for filing with the ROC is not allowed. Companies that have defaulted in repaying matured deposits, debentures or interest on deposits and debentures are also not allowed to change their name. This shall be allowed only once the aforementioned discrepancies have been resolved. To change the name of your organization, use the help of our online services for quick verification and easy application without any discrepancies.
