Registered Office Change
Shifting a company's registered office address with the board, shareholder and Registrar approvals the move requires, depending on how far it goes.
The approvals needed to shift a registered office depend on distance: a move within the same city needs only a board resolution and Form INC-22, a move to a different city within the same state additionally needs a special resolution, and a move across states needs Regional Director approval besides the special resolution. Each route has its own form and timeline, and getting the classification wrong is the most common reason filings are rejected.
What our registered office change service covers
Matching the right approval route to the distance of your move.
- Classifying the move as intra-city, intra-state or inter-state
- Drafting board and special resolutions as applicable
- Filing Form INC-22 for the address change with the ROC
- Preparing the Regional Director petition for inter-state moves
- Coordinating publication of notice and creditor no-objection where required
- Updating the new address on PAN, GST, bank and other registrations
Three routes for shifting your office
The further the move, the more approvals are involved.
Same City
A board resolution and Form INC-22 are usually sufficient for a move within the same city.
Same State, Different City
Requires a special resolution in addition to the board resolution and INC-22 filing.
Across States
Needs Regional Director approval, an altered memorandum, and creditor and employee notices.
Our process
From initial consultation to completion.
Route Classification
Determining whether the move is intra-city, intra-state or inter-state to fix the right process.
Approvals
Passing the board and, where needed, special resolution authorising the change.
ROC / RD Filing
Filing INC-22, or the Regional Director petition for cross-state moves.
Address Update
Updating the new registered address across PAN, GST, bank and statutory records.
Why the classification matters
What sets our approach apart.
The wrong form gets rejected
Filing INC-22 alone for an inter-state move, where RD approval is also needed, leads to rejection.
Cross-state moves take longer
Regional Director approval involves notice periods and creditor objections that add weeks to the timeline.
Every registration needs updating
GST, bank KYC and licenses must reflect the new address separately from the ROC filing.
