Change of Registered Office involves the formal process of updating a company's registered office address with the MCA. While the process itself is usually straightforward, businesses commonly run into avoidable issues along the way. Here are the mistakes we see most often, and how to steer clear of them.
Mistake 1
Not distinguishing between within-city, within-state, and inter-state address change requirements.
Mistake 2
Missing the filing deadline after the move takes effect.
Mistake 3
Forgetting to update the address on invoices, letterheads, and other statutory documents.
Mistake 4
Underestimating the extra approvals needed for an inter-state move.
How to Avoid These Issues
Most of these mistakes come down to preparation. Having the right documents ready — Board resolution approving the change, Proof of the new registered office address, NOC from the property owner, if the new premises is rented, among others — and understanding the process before you start goes a long way toward a smooth outcome with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA), and Regional Director approval for inter-state moves.
Quick Reference: What You'll Need
- Board resolution approving the change
- Proof of the new registered office address
- NOC from the property owner, if the new premises is rented
- Shareholder approval, where required for the type of move
