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.
