Change Registered Office
Changing a company’s location is more than just shifting offices—it requires legally updating the company’s registered office address, which serves as its official identity for all government, tax, and court-related communication. Under the Companies Act, 2013, any change in the registered office must be reported to the Registrar of Companies (ROC) through Form INC-22, the statutory form prescribed for this purpose. Whether the move is within the same city, within the same state but outside city limits, or to another state, timely filing of Form INC-22 is mandatory to stay compliant. The form records important details such as the old and new addresses, date of change, and supporting documents including ownership proof, utility bills, and NOC from the premises owner. At Aarthika Globcorp, we provide complete assistance with Filing Form INC-22 for Registered Office Change, ensuring smooth documentation, accurate compliance, and hassle-free approval from the ROC.
- Board Resolution approving the change of registered office
- Special Resolution (if required, e.g., interstate change)
- Proof of new address (ownership documents or rent/lease agreement)
- Utility bill of new premises (not older than 2 months)
- NOC from property owner (if rented)
- Altered MOA (for interstate change)
- Copy of MGT-14 (if filed for special resolution)

- File Form INC-22 on MCA Portal

INC-22 must be filed within 15 days of any change in the registered office.
If the registered office is owned by a director, a NOC from the director as property owner is required, permitting the company to use it as its office.
MGT-14 is required only if a special resolution is involved (for some types of changes); not all changes with INC-22 require MGT-14.
Regional Director approval is necessary only for shifting the registered office from one state to another, not for all changes.
Alteration of the MOA is required mainly when the registered office shifts from one state to another, or in other cases where company objectives, name, or capital change; not for all registered office changes.
