Updating Company Address with ROC (MCA)The Importance of Changing Registered Office Address
The **Registered Office** is the official communication address of your company. Any legal notice, tax communication, or correspondence from the MCA or ROC is sent here.
Any change in the registered office address requires passing specific **Board Resolutions** and filing **Form INC-22** with the ROC within **30 days** of the change. The process varies significantly depending on whether the change is within the same city, same state, or to a different state.
Key Filing Requirements
- **Mandatory Form:** INC-22
- **Filing Deadline:** Within **30 days** of the Board Resolution.
- **Key Document:** New lease/rental agreement and utility bill (not older than 2 months).
- **Penalty:** ₹100 per day after the deadline.
Process Varies by Type of Change
Change within Same ROC/City
Simplest change. Requires passing a **Board Resolution** and filing **Form INC-22** with the ROC.
Change to Different ROC in Same State
Requires **Special Resolution** and obtaining permission from the **Regional Director (RD)** using **Form INC-23** (or eForm GNL-1).
Change to Different State
Most complex process. Requires approval from the **Central Government** and alteration of the **Memorandum of Association (MOA)**.
