Change Address
Section 12 of the Companies Act of 2013 requires all companies and limited liability partnerships (LLPs) to have a registered office at the time of incorporation or within 30 days. A company’s or LLP’s registered office address is its principal place of business, and all official mail from the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) is sent only to that location. As a result, any change in the registered office’s address should be reported to the RoC or MCA.
Other offices that a firm may have include an administrative office, a corporate office, a branch office, and so on. Only the registered office address, however, shall be reported to the MCA. The establishment or change of address of the company’s additional offices does not require notification to the RoC or MCA.
Types of Change address
1. Within the same city
- To begin, the corporation must call a board meeting and pass a resolution.
- The MCA requires the corporation to file a form INC22. It must be filed within 30 days of the board resolution being passed.
- Attach the utility bill for evidence of business address, the owner’s NOC, and the leasing agreement if the space is rented.
2. Within the same state and ROC
If a firm wants to move its registered office from one ROC to another, it must fill out Form INC-23 and submit it to the Regional Director for permission. Within 60 days of the Regional Director’s confirmation, the identical confirmation must be filed with the ROC. The ROC must validate the change of address within 30 days of filing.
3. To other ROC in the same state
There are two registrars of businesses in large states like Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu. It is possible that when a company’s address changes, the ROC will change as well. As a result, when such a change occurs, a new method is followed.
4. From one state to another
- A board meeting must be held and a resolution to convene an extraordinary general meeting must be passed.
- The EGM will pass a special resolution regarding the change in the registered office address as well as the modification of the MOA. The MCA must receive the resolution in MGT14 within 30 days.
- Not more than 30 days before the date of application to the regional director, the company must post an advertisement for moving the office. It should appear in both a vernacular and a regional newspaper, as well as an English newspaper.
- If there are any creditors or debenture holders, the company should also notify them, as well as any other regulatory agencies that apply to them.
- To change the registration office, submit an application to the Regional Director, together with the required documents.
- If an objection is received, a hearing with the central government will be held, and required instructions will be issued. If there are no objections, the order will be passed without a hearing.
- The corporation must file the confirmation received from the RD to the ROCs within 30 days of the date of the order.
- It is important to file form INC-22 with the requisite documents to the ROC within 30 days.
