How to Change a Company's Name

Changing a registered company's name is governed by Section 13 of the Companies Act, 2013. The process involves: (1) checking availability of the new name through the ROC Name Availability system, (2) filing a Reserve Unique Name (RUN) application to reserve the name, (3) passing a special resolution at a General Meeting, (4) filing Form INC-24 (Application for change of name) with the ROC, and (5) filing Form MGT-14 (special resolution filing). Once the ROC approves, a fresh Certificate of Incorporation in the new name is issued. The company must then update all documents — MOA, AoA, letterheads, websites, bank accounts, GST certificate, and all regulatory registrations — within 30 days of the name change. This service covers the ROC process only; for initial company name search and reservation during incorporation, see our Business Setup section.

Post-Approval Updates Required

  • Update MOA and AoA to reflect the new company name (printed on all copies)
  • Notify all banks — obtain updated account confirmation with new name
  • Update GST registration — file for amendment on GST portal
  • Update company's PAN record with NSDL/UTIITSL
  • Update Import Export Code (IEC) with DGFT if held
  • Notify all trademark registrations with new company name
  • Update company letterheads, visiting cards, website, and email signatures
  • Notify all vendors, customers, and counterparties of the name change

Why Golden Verdict For
Change in Company Name?

Name change applications are frequently rejected by ROC because the proposed name is similar to an existing registered company, contains a prohibited word (e.g., 'Bank', 'Insurance', 'Stock Exchange' without RBI/IRDAI/SEBI approval), or violates the Companies (Incorporation) Rules on naming conventions. Golden Verdict conducts a thorough name availability check before RUN application, advises on naming compliance, drafts the special resolution, files INC-24 and MGT-14 simultaneously, and coordinates the post-approval document update list.

A company name change is more than paperwork — it's a brand transition. Golden Verdict handles the legal transition so you can focus on the rebranding.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the new company name checked for availability?+
Name availability is checked on MCA's website against the existing registered company and LLP names database. The name must not be identical or 'too nearly resembling' any existing registered name. Golden Verdict also checks for any trademark conflicts before recommending the name to avoid future IP disputes.
What is Form INC-24?+
Form INC-24 is the application to the ROC for a change of company name. It is filed after the special resolution is passed and the RUN name is reserved. The ROC examines the application and, if approved, issues a fresh Certificate of Incorporation with the new name.
What is the RUN (Reserve Unique Name) application?+
Before filing INC-24, the proposed new name must be reserved using the RUN web service on MCA — which checks availability and reserves the name for 20 days. The reserved name must be used within this period by filing INC-24.
Do bank accounts need to be changed after a company name change?+
Yes. All banks where the company holds accounts must be notified of the name change with a copy of the fresh Certificate of Incorporation. The bank account operating name is updated, though the account number remains the same. GST registration, import-export code (IEC), PAN, and all other regulatory registrations must also be updated.
Can the company's PAN change after a name change?+
The company's PAN number does not change after a name change — only the name printed on the PAN card is updated. The company must apply to NSDL/UTIITSL for a revised PAN card reflecting the new name after receiving the fresh Certificate of Incorporation.
