A company’s name is its core legal identity, but as businesses evolve, they may need to rebrand, realign with new objectives, or reflect mergers and acquisitions—making a Company Name Change necessary. In India, this process is governed by the Companies Act, 2013, and requires filing Form INC-24 with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) after securing name reservation through the RUN service and passing a special resolution. Form INC-24 serves as the official application to the Registrar of Companies (ROC) for issuing a fresh Certificate of Incorporation with the new name. The form includes details such as the existing and proposed names, board resolution, updated Memorandum and Articles of Association, and the MCA approval letter. Filing INC-24 for company name change not only ensures compliance but also updates the MCA’s legal records, protecting the company’s identity under law. At Aarthika Globcorp Solutions, we provide expert assistance with the Company Name Change process in India, ensuring smooth documentation, regulatory approval, and a legally recognized transition to your new brand identity.

INC-24 cannot be filed without name reservation; prior approval for the new name via RUN or SPICe+ is mandatory before filing INC-24.
MGT-14 is mandatory as INC-24 asks for the SRN (Service Request Number) of the MGT-14 filed for the special resolution approving the name change.
Yes, alteration of MOA and AOA is mandatory to reflect the new name. Copies of amended MOA and AOA must be attached while filing INC-24.
A company with annual filing defaults or pending financial statements cannot change its name until all filings and repayments are completed.
No, the CIN does not change for a name change alone; it changes only if other factors like registered office state or listing status change.
Filing INC-24 does not automatically update GST, PAN, or bank records. These updates must be done separately with each authority.
