Complete Address Change Guide

Changing Registered Office Depends on Where the Company Is Moving.

The compliance route is different for same city, outside local limits, different ROC and different state. We identify the correct path before drafting or filing.

Address Change Support

Before filing INC-22, we check the exact shift route and document readiness.

Registered office change can be simple or approval-heavy depending on whether the shift is within the same city, outside local limits, between ROC jurisdictions or from one state to another.

Identify whether only INC-22 is needed or MGT-14 / INC-23 / INC-28 also applies.
Check rent agreement, owner NOC, utility bill age and proof of occupancy.
Prepare board resolution, shareholder approval and MOA alteration documents where required.
File INC-22 and verify MCA master data after approval/taken-on-record status.
Guide updates for GST, bank, invoice format, letterhead, licenses and statutory registers.

    Why This Matters

    Your Registered Office Is the Legal Address of the Company.

    ROC notices, statutory communications, bank records, GST data, legal notices and due diligence documents rely on the registered office address. A wrong or outdated MCA address can create avoidable compliance trouble.

    🏛️

    MCA record update

    INC-22 updates the registered office address on MCA records and company master data.

    📍

    Correct legal address

    Official notices and regulatory communications reach the correct office.

    📄

    Clean documentation

    NOC, rent agreement and utility bill must support the new address clearly.

    ⚖️

    Right approval route

    Outside local limits or inter-state shifts may need shareholder/RD approvals.

    🧾

    GST and bank alignment

    After MCA update, other business records should also be aligned.

    Due diligence ready

    A current address reduces investor, bank and audit objections.
