Overview of Change in Registered Office

A registered office is the official address of a company where all legal communications are sent. Any change in the registered office must be officially updated with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) by filing appropriate forms. This change may be within the same city, same state, or across states, and each type has a different compliance process.

Types of Registered Office Change

  • Within the same city/town/village: Simple process, minimal documents
  • From one city to another within the same ROC: Board resolution + filing with ROC
  • From one ROC jurisdiction to another (inter-state): Requires approval from Regional Director (RD)

Documents Required

  • Board Resolution for change of address
  • Utility bill of new office (electricity/gas/water)
  • No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the owner of the premises
  • Lease Agreement or Rent Agreement (if rented)
  • Special Resolution (for inter-state shift)

Process to Change Registered Office

  1. Step 1: Hold a Board Meeting and pass resolution
  2. Step 2: File Form INC-22 (for same city or same ROC)
  3. Step 3: For inter-state change, pass a Special Resolution and file MGT-14
  4. Step 4: Apply for approval from Regional Director (Form INC-23)
  5. Step 5: Once approved, file INC-28 and update ROC records

Timeline for Address Change

  • Within same city/ROC: 3–5 working days
  • Inter-city or Inter-ROC (within same state): 7–10 working days
  • Inter-state change: 20–25 working days (with RD approval)

Legal Compliance After Office Change

  • Update company address on all statutory documents (PAN, GST, bank)
  • Change address on website, invoices, and official communications
  • Inform stockholders, vendors, and clients of the new address
  • Ensure address is physically accessible and operational

Post‑Filing Obligations

  • Maintain minutes of AGM and Board Meetings
  • Timely renewal of FCRA/12A/80G certificates
  • Timely filing of event-based compliances (e.g., change in directors, capital)
  • Keep Statutory Registers updated and secure
  • Display name and registration details on all communication material

Penalty for Non-Compliance

  • Failure to follow rules may lead to fines.
  • Missing renewal deadlines can attract penalties.
  • Providing false information may invite legal action.
  • Serious violations can even cause project shutdown.

FAQs – Change in Registered Office

Q1. Is approval required from MCA for every address change?

For changes within the same city or ROC, only Form INC-22 is needed. For inter-state changes, RD approval is mandatory.

Q2. Can a company change its office address without physical possession?

No. The company must have legal possession (ownership or rent agreement) and NOC from the property owner.

Q3. Is there a penalty for not updating ROC about address change?

Yes. Non-compliance may attract penalties and legal issues in receiving government or legal correspondence.
