A company name change is a legal process under the Companies Act, 2013 that allows an existing company to alter its registered name with the approval of the Registrar of Companies (ROC). This process does not affect the company’s legal identity or rights; only the name under which it operates changes.
A name change is usually done to reflect a new brand identity, merger, rebranding, or business diversification. Once approved, a new Certificate of Incorporation is issued by the ROC reflecting the updated company name.
Any registered Private Limited Company, Public Limited Company, or One Person Company (OPC) in India can apply for a company name change. The application can be made if all shareholders and directors approve the resolution for the name change in a general meeting. Even dormant companies or those undergoing rebranding, restructuring, or merger can apply. However, companies with pending legal cases or overdue ROC filings must first clear their compliance status before applying for a name change.
A company should apply for a name change when it undergoes a rebranding, change in ownership, business expansion, merger, or if its current name no longer represents its operations. It is also required when there is a directive from the Central Government to change the name due to similarity with an existing registered company or trademark. Applying for a name change at the right time helps maintain a consistent business identity and avoid legal conflicts in the future.
Ebizfiling provides expert assistance in completing the company name change process online as per ROC guidelines. Our team helps with name availability checks, preparation of the board and shareholder resolutions, and filing of the required forms such as RUN (Reserve Unique Name) and MGT-14.
We also handle all documentation, approvals, and communication with the ROC to ensure a quick and smooth transition. In addition, Ebizfiling offers related services such as Company Modification Filings, Director Change Filings, Annual Compliance, and Digital Signature Renewal.
