Overview of Address Changes

Companies may need to change their registered address for various reasons, including relocation or the need for updated records. This change must be communicated to the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) through proper filings. Dhanvitt offers full support to manage the process, ensuring all forms and resolutions are submitted correctly and on time.

Types of Address Changes

• Within the Same State: If the registered office is shifting within the same city or state, only Board Resolutions and necessary filings with the Registrar of Companies (ROC) are required.
• From One State to Another: If the address change involves moving to a different state, both Board and Shareholder approvals are required, along with approval from the Regional Director. Form MGT-14 and Form INC-23 must be filed for the relocation.

Address Change Process

The process for changing a company’s address includes passing resolutions, notifying stakeholders, and filing the necessary forms with the MCA. We guide companies through each step to ensure compliance with the Companies Act.

Filing Forms for Address Changes

After the approval of a new address, the company must file Form INC-22 with the MCA to officially update the registered office address. For changes from one state to another, additional filings like INC-23 and MGT-14 may be required. Dhanvitt offers end-to-end assistance to prepare and submit these forms, ensuring a smooth transition.
