STEPS FOR
PRIVATE LIMITED COMPANY NAME CHANGE PROCESS
1. Hold A Board Meeting and
Authorize any director
For a name change, the company
must send a notice and hold a board meeting to change the company name by
passing a resolution of the board of directors and authorizing one of the
board directors at this meeting to implement the proposed name change to
Registrar by filing a RUN (Reserve Unique Name) Form with the MCA.
2. File RUN Form and Reserve Proposed Name
Submit the form done with the
MCA about a company name change by submitting a proposed name. Once
the proposed name is approved, the proposed name will be reserved for 60 days,
during which time the company must submit all required forms.
3. Notice to EGM
After approving the RUN
form, the company will send a notice to the EGM at least 21 days
before the EGM or a shorter notice when 95% of the members agree to
hold the EGM in a shorter time. A notice will be sent to all members
for shareholder approval, in which the company will adopt a special resolution
to amend the MOA and AOA regarding the change of the company name and accept
the proposed name for the company in MCA.
4. Hold EGM
The Company will hold an EGM on
the date mentioned and adopt a special resolution with the consent of the
members to amend the MOA and AOA, thus approving the proposed name of the
company and authorizing one of the directors to file MGT-14 and Form INC-24.
5. File Form MGT-14
After passing a special resolution, the company
must file Form MGT-14 within 30 days of the adoption of the special resolution.
6. File Form INC-24
Once Form MGT-14 is approved, the
company must submit Form INC-24 to the
Central Government/ROC for approval of the company name change. Upon
approval of Form INC-24, ROC will issue a new certificate of
incorporation for the approved name in the company email ID.
Key Points to be remembered while applying for a change in
name of the Company.
1. When
applying for a change of name, the company must comply with the relevant
sections and regulations of the Companies Act.
2. The
company must not fail to file annual reports, accounts, or other documents
required for submission to the Registrar.
3. Applications
for a company name with the proposed name RUN will only be available for 60
days from approval, so the company must complete all
necessary name change requirements, including Form INC-24, within the
deadline.
4. The
company must provide copies of board resolutions, notices to extraordinary
general meetings, certified copies of special resolutions with explanations,
amended MOA and AOA, challan of such RUN form or MGT-14 forms, or other
documents as may be required.
