Name Change - Company
Name Change - Company services managed seamlessly by our expert team.
Changing your company name is a formal process that involves name approval, shareholder resolutions and ROC filings. Done properly, it also updates your PAN, GST and bank records. CASYST handles the process end to end.
What is Name Change - Company?
A company can change its name after passing a special resolution and getting the approval of the Registrar of Companies. The new name must be available and comply with the naming guidelines.
Once approved, the Registrar issues a fresh certificate of incorporation with the new name, and the company must update its documents and registrations.
