Home / Company Law & Secretarial Services / Shifting of Registered Office

Last updated: 2 October 2026
Moving your registered office — within the same city, to another city in the same state, or to a different state — each follows a different route. Our team works out which applies, handles the approvals and files INC-22 and related forms.
A move outside the local limits of a city but within the same ROC also needs a special resolution. Proof of the new address — ownership or rent agreement, NOC and a utility bill — is needed in every case.
Based on the Companies Act, 2013 and the rules made under it. Last updated: 27 September 2026.
