Yes, a company can change its registered office address under Indian law. This is governed by the Companies Act, 2013. The process depends on where the office is being shifted: 1. Within the same city/town/village This is the simplest case. The company just needs: A Board Resolution To file Form INC-22 with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs within 30 days 2. From one city to another within the same state (same ROC) Board Resolution Sometimes shareholder approval (Special Resolution) File required forms with ROC 3. From one state to another This is more complex because it changes the company’s jurisdiction: Special Resolution by shareholders Approval from the Regional Director Update the Memorandum of Association (MOA) File multiple forms (like INC-23, INC-28, INC-22, etc.) Important points: The registered office determines the company’s legal jurisdiction. All official communications are sent to this address. The company must update all statutory records and display the new address.
