Can a company change its registered office address?

Answer By law4u team

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.

Dear client, under this, the government takes on the land for public purposes such as building of roads, schools, railways etc and in return provide compensation to the landowners. Land Acquisition comes under the LARR act, 2013, which ensures fair compensation and rehabilitation for all the affected persons. And in short, the government can acquire land only by following the proper legal procedures under it. May this help and for further issues do not hesitate to contact us.
