Altering your corporate identity to reflect a pivot in business model, brand evolution, or corporate restructuring is a highly governed statutory process under Section 13 of the Companies Act, 2013. It requires an amendment of the Name Clause in your Memorandum of Association (MOA), which demands a strict progression of approvals. This starts with checking brand availability and reserving the name via the MCA's RUN portal, followed by passing a Special Resolution in an EGM, and securing final central government clearance via Form INC-24. We manage the entire procedure seamlessly, verifying trademark availability beforehand to eliminate intellectual property disputes and ensuring your transition is recorded with a fresh Certificate of Incorporation.
We run exhaustive searches against the TM Registry to verify that your proposed corporate name does not infringe on existing intellectual property.
Our team drafts and submits up to two name options on the MCA RUN portal to secure approvals from central registration authorities.
We prepare and file Form MGT-14 (for Special Resolution) and Form INC-24 to secure the official approval of the Registrar of Companies.
We guide the post-approval updates to GSTIN, PAN, TAN, and bank accounts, aligning all corporate assets with your new identity.
The entire process, from initial RUN name reservation to receiving the fresh Certificate of Incorporation from the ROC, typically takes 15 to 25 working days, depending on name availability and government processing times.
No. Under Section 13(5) of the Companies Act, changing the name of a company does not affect any rights, obligations, or legal proceedings. All existing contracts, bank accounts, and licenses continue to remain valid under the new name.
Yes. Shifting to a new corporate name alters Clause I of the MOA and requires the approval of at least 75% of the voting shareholders via a Special Resolution passed at an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM).
