Company Name Change
A new name, with everything downstream updated.
Changing a name is a members' decision: a board resolution, then a special resolution in general meeting, then MGT-14 within thirty days and INC-24 for the central government approval.
The new name has to clear the same availability tests as a fresh incorporation, so it is worth checking against the trademark register before you call the meeting.
The company's identity does not change — the CIN, PAN and contracts all survive — but PAN, TAN, GST, bank accounts and licences all have to be updated afterwards, and that is the part that gets forgotten.
What is included
- Name availability check and reservation
- Board and special resolution drafted
- MGT-14 and INC-24 filed
- Fresh certificate of incorporation, and the downstream update list
What we need from you
- Existing certificate of incorporation and MOA/AOA
- Board and general meeting resolutions
- Proposed names in order of preference
- Digital signature of a director
Questions
Does changing the company name affect existing contracts?
No. The company remains the same legal person with the same CIN and PAN, and contracts continue. What does need updating is every registration and account in the old name — GST, bank, licences, and your invoices.
