Change of Registered Office: Frequently Asked Questions Answered
Gaurav Kumar

Change of Registered Office comes up with a lot of questions, especially for companies relocating within the same city, to a different city, or to a different state dealing with it for the first time. Here are clear answers to what we're asked most often.

Is the process the same for moving within a city vs a different state?

No, moving to a different state involves additional approval, unlike a move within the same city.

How long does an inter-state move take?

It generally takes longer due to the Regional Director approval step.

Do I need to update GST registration too?

Yes, a change in registered office typically requires a corresponding update to GST and other registrations.

What if I only change the office within the same city?

This is usually the simplest case, requiring just a board resolution and MCA filing.

Still Have Questions?

Every business situation is a little different, and Change of Registered Office is no exception. If your case doesn't fit neatly into the questions above, it's worth getting a second opinion before proceeding.

What You'll Typically 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
