Overview
What is Company Name Change?
Changing a company's name — for a rebrand, a correction, or after a change in business — is a formal process, because the name is part of the company's constitution (the MOA). It can't simply be updated on letterheads.
The steps: check the new name's availability (it must be unique and not infringe a trademark), pass a special resolution, file MGT-14, apply for the name (RUN/INC-24), update the MOA and AOA, and receive a fresh Certificate of Incorporation. The CIN stays the same.
We handle the whole process end to end.

FAQs
Company Name Change — frequently asked questions
How do I change my company's name?
Check the new name's availability, pass a special resolution, file MGT-14, apply via RUN/INC-24, update the MOA/AOA, and receive a fresh Certificate of Incorporation. The CIN stays the same.
Does the CIN change with the name?
No. The CIN and the company's legal identity and history continue; only the name changes.
How long does a name change take?
Typically 2–4 weeks, including name approval and the fresh COI.
Can I pick any new name?
It must be unique, compliant with MCA naming rules, and not infringe a registered trademark. We check availability first.
Is a special resolution required?
Yes. A name change requires member approval by special resolution, filed in MGT-14.
Do I need to update PAN, GST and bank?
Yes. After the fresh COI, update the name on PAN, GST, bank, licences, contracts and branding.
Is this the same as changing my brand name?
No. A legal name change alters the company's constitution. A brand/trade name is protected via a trademark, which is separate.
Will my contracts still be valid?
Yes. The company is the same legal entity (same CIN); existing contracts continue, though you should note the new name going forward.
What do I receive?
The approvals, the new name on record, the fresh COI and updated MOA/AOA.
