Change Company Name
Rebrands, mergers, strategy shifts — companies change names for good reasons. But the ROC filing is only the first step. PAN, GST, bank accounts, licenses, and contracts all need updating too. We manage the entire change.

Company Name Change Package Inclusions
- Name availability search and RUN application with MCA
- Board and special resolution drafting for name change
- E-filing of Forms INC-24 and MGT-14 with the ROC
- New Certificate of Incorporation follow-up
- PAN, TAN, GST and bank name-change checklist
Overview
What a company name change involves
The board and shareholders must approve the change — a special resolution is required.
The new name must pass MCA's availability and naming-rule checks, just like a fresh name.
The ROC processes the application (Form INC-24) and issues a fresh Certificate of Incorporation with the new name.
The CIN stays the same — the company remains the same legal entity, so contracts continue.
After the ROC, you must update PAN, TAN, GST, bank accounts, licenses, invoices, and stationery.
Benefits
Why companies change names through us
Open each benefit to see what it means for you.
The whole chain, not just the filing
A name change touches the company and then everything around it — GST, PAN, bank, contracts. We handle the full chain, not just the ROC filing.
Correct sequence, no missed steps
A special resolution, MGT-14, INC-24, new certificate of incorporation — the sequence matters and we run it in order.
New name pre-checked
We screen the new name before filing, so you don't burn weeks on a name the ROC will reject.
Transition risks flagged early
Brand confusion, missed invoices, contract mismatches — we flag the transition issues most companies discover too late.
Documents
Documents you will usually need
Clear, current documents matter more than a long checklist. Names, dates of birth and addresses should match across every record — that's what the MCA checks first. Tick what you already have below.

What is a CIN?
Every Private Limited Company gets a unique 21-character Corporate Identification Number from the MCA. It's proof your company legally exists. You'll need it for bank accounts, tax filings, and contracts. We handle the entire application — you just provide the documents above.
Not sure if your documents are ready?
Send us what you have. A ComplyKart expert will review them for free and tell you exactly what's missing — no obligation.
Get Free Document ReviewQuestions Founders ask us about documents
What if my address proof is old?
Utility bills and bank statements must be less than 2 months old. If yours are older, get a fresh copy — the MCA rejects stale proofs.
Do I need original documents?
No. Clear scans or photos work for the entire process. We never ask you to courier originals.
What if directors live in different cities?
That's normal. Each director uploads their own documents separately. Our system keeps everything organised.
I'm outside India. Can I still register a company?
Yes. India allows 100% foreign ownership in most sectors, and the entire process happens online. You need one Indian resident director, and your passport + address proof must be apostilled — we'll guide you through both. NRI founders and foreign investors do this with us regularly.
Check if you're eligible →How long does registration actually take?
7 to 10 working days from the day your documents are verified. Name approval takes 2-3 days, MCA incorporation another 5-7. We track every stage and update you.
Can I start if I'm missing one document?
Yes. Start now with what you have — we begin name reservation and DSC while you arrange the rest. Most founders are missing one proof; it rarely blocks the timeline.
Process
How we handle your name change
You’ll see each stage, what’s pending and what we need from you — so filings don’t bounce back.
Step 1 of 5
New name screening
Your proposed new names are checked against MCA records and naming rules before anything is filed.
Resolutions and MGT-14
Board resolution, special resolution, and MGT-14 filing — the statutory foundation of the change.
INC-24 filing
The formal application for the name change goes to the ROC with all supporting documents.
Fresh COI and updated charter
On approval, we collect the new certificate and update your MoA and AoA.
Downstream updates
You get a prioritized checklist — PAN, GST, bank, contracts, licenses — and our support through the updates.

For NRI founders & foreign investors
If a founder or investor is outside India
You don't need to fly down. Most of our foreign-founder incorporations are completed without the founder ever visiting India — 100% foreign ownership is allowed in most sectors, and the entire process happens online.
Before you start
- 100% foreign ownership is allowed in most sectors — no Indian partner needed
- One Indian resident director is required by law — we help you find a compliant way forward
- Check whether your sector permits automatic-route foreign investment
- Your passport + address proof need an apostille, not an embassy visit
- Map ownership, beneficial ownership and pricing early
After incorporation
- Receive funds through permitted banking channels
- Complete RBI/FEMA reporting (FC-GPR, FLA) and keep the bank evidence
- Coordinate tax and ongoing compliance advice early

After ROC approval, you need to update PAN, TAN, GST registrations, bank accounts, licenses, contracts, and branding. We give you the complete checklist and support the updates.
Yes — shareholders must approve the change by special resolution (75% majority), filed with the ROC in MGT-14.
Typically 3–6 weeks for the ROC process once documents are ready. The downstream updates (GST, bank, licenses) add more time — plan for a couple of months overall.
It's the same company — same legal entity, same contracts, same liabilities. Only the name changes, which is precisely why contracts continue without renegotiation.
Not quite — the new name needs the same availability and naming-rule checks as a fresh incorporation name. We screen it first.
The company's CIN (Corporate Identification Number) stays the same. Only the name portion of your identity changes.
