Change of Registered Office Address
Moving your company's registered office within the same city, state, or across states? Leegal handles the ROC filing and approvals needed.
What's Involved in Changing Your Registered Office?
The process depends on how far the move is — within the same city is simplest, moving within the same state (across ROC jurisdiction) needs a special resolution, and moving to a different state additionally requires regional director approval.
Filing the change promptly matters, since your registered office address is what the government and other authorities use for official communication with your company.
| Within Same City/ROC | Change of State |
|---|---|
| Board resolution generally sufficient | Special resolution and regional director approval required |
| Simpler and quicker ROC filing | More documentation and longer processing time |
| Updates address with the same Registrar | Involves transfer of jurisdiction between Registrars |
| Lower complexity overall | Higher complexity, plan for a longer timeline |

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need government approval to move my registered office?
Only for moves across states, which require regional director approval in addition to a special resolution and ROC filing.
How long does an inter-state registered office change take?
It generally takes longer than a local move due to the additional approval step; timelines depend on documentation and processing speed.
What happens if I don't update my registered office address?
Official communication may go to the wrong address, and it can also be flagged as non-compliance during ROC scrutiny.
Can I change my registered office within the same city easily?
Yes, this is typically the simplest case, usually needing just a board resolution and ROC filing.
Does the company's PAN or GST registration need separate updates too?
Yes, related registrations like GST and bank records typically need to be updated separately to reflect the new address.
