Quick Process to Update Your Company Name!
Understanding the Legal Rules for Company Name Change
Changing the name of a Private Limited Company (Pvt Ltd) is a formal legal process governed by the Companies Act, 2013. Businesses may decide to change their name for various reasons such as rebranding, expansion, ownership restructuring, mergers, or to align with a new business direction. The process begins with checking the availability of the new name through the MCA portal by filing the RUN (Reserve Unique Name) form. Once the name is approved, the company must conduct a Board Meeting and an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) to pass resolutions supporting the name change. Thereafter, Form MGT-14 (for recording the shareholder resolution) and Form INC-24 (for final name change approval) must be submitted to the Registrar of Companies (ROC).
Once the ROC verifies and approves the documentation, a new Certificate of Incorporation reflecting the updated company name is issued. To ensure a smooth transition from the old name to the new one, our expert Private Limited Company Name Change Consultants manage the complete process for you — from name approval to final certification — ensuring compliance, accuracy, and peace of mind at every step.
