Change of Registered Office Address - An Overview
Registered Office Address is the official address of a company registered with the Registrar of Companies (ROC). All statutory communications, notices, and legal documents from government authorities are sent to this address. Changing the registered office is a common corporate event when a company relocates its operations.
The process and compliance requirements for changing the registered office vary depending on the nature of the change - whether it's within the same city, to a different city within the same state, or to a different state entirely. Each type of change has different filing requirements under the Companies Act, 2013.
For changes within the same city or different city within the same state and same ROC jurisdiction, Form INC-22 is filed. For changes to a different city under a different ROC jurisdiction (but same state), Form INC-23 is required along with Regional Director approval. Inter-state changes are the most complex, requiring Regional Director approval.
At Taxcom Technologies, we handle all types of registered office changes - from simple within-city changes to complex inter-state relocations. Our expert team ensures proper documentation, timely filing, and complete MCA compliance.
