Registered Office of Company
Change of Registered Office of Company
A company’s registered office determines its legal jurisdiction, ROC reporting location and where all official notices are served. When a business relocates—whether within the city, to another district or to another state—the registered office must be updated through proper resolutions and MCA filings. The process varies depending on the type of shift, and clean documentation ensures uninterrupted compliance and smooth transition.
