Registered Office Change shift your address, filed correctly.

End-to-end registered office change services in Mumbai and across India — change within the same city, between cities, between ROC jurisdictions, and inter-state shifting with Regional Director approval and full ROC filing.

A registered office is the official address of a company where statutory notices and communications are served and where statutory registers are kept. Changing it is governed by Sections 12 and 13 of the Companies Act, 2013, and the procedure depends entirely on how far the office is moving — within the same city, to another city within the same Registrar's jurisdiction, between two ROC jurisdictions, or from one state to another.

A change within the same city needs only a board resolution and Form INC-22. A change beyond city limits or to a new Registrar's jurisdiction requires a special resolution and, in some cases, Regional Director approval. An inter-state shift is the most involved — it requires a special resolution, an amendment to the Memorandum of Association, advertisement in newspapers, and approval from the Regional Director before the change can be filed.

Our registered office change practice handles every variant — board and shareholder approvals, Form MGT-14, Form INC-22, Form INC-23, Regional Director petitions, newspaper publication, and MOA amendment for inter-state moves. We file accurately for the exact category of shift and guide the downstream updates to GST, bank, and licence records.
