Overview
What is Company Name Change?
Companies change their names to rebrand, reflect a new line of business or match a trademark. Under Section 13 of the Companies Act, 2013, the new name is first reserved with MCA, then approved by special resolution and the Registrar of Companies.
Once approved, the ROC issues a fresh Certificate of Incorporation with the new name. The company's identity number stays the same, and existing contracts continue. We manage the full process, from name checks to the final certificate.
