Update your registered office with the MCA correctly.

About Change Company Address

Whenever a company shifts its registered office, the change must be formally reported to the Ministry of Corporate Affairs. The process and forms depend on how far the office is moving — within the same city, to another city within the same Registrar's jurisdiction (ROC), between two ROCs in the same state, or from one state to another. A simple local shift only needs a board resolution and Form INC-22, whereas inter-state or inter-ROC changes require a special resolution, MOA amendment and, in some cases, Regional Director approval. Getting this right keeps your statutory records, GST and bank details aligned and avoids penalties for an incorrect registered office.

Frequently asked questions

Does changing office within the same city need MCA filing?

Yes. Even a local shift requires Form INC-22 to update the registered office.

It is required when the office moves outside the local limits, across ROCs or states.

Do I also need to update GST?
