    Change in Name of Company in Delhi

    📌 TL;DR - Change in Name of Company in Delhi Services at a Glance

    Company name change under Section 13 requires: Board Meeting, RUN name reservation (Rs 1,000, 20 days), EGM Special Resolution (75%), MGT-14 with e-MOA/e-AOA within 30 days, INC-24 after MGT-14 approval, fresh COI (INC-25) from ROC. Post-change: PAN, TAN, GST, bank, contracts. Company must not have filing defaults. CIN and PAN number unchanged. 15-20 working days. Patron manages from Delhi.

    Delhi NCR is India's second-largest corporate hub. Common name change scenarios: startup pivot/rebrand, merger/acquisition, regulatory direction (S.16), brand refresh. ROC NCT Delhi & Haryana processes all filings. Learn more about Company Name Change across India.

    Patron Accounting's Delhi office manages complete name change: trademark search, RUN, resolution drafting, MGT-14 and INC-24 filing, fresh COI tracking, and all post-change updates. Integrated with ROC compliance and company registration for complete management.

    Content is reviewed quarterly for accuracy.

    Company Name Change: Legal Process Under Section 13

    Name change alters Clause I of MOA, requires ROC approval (representing Central Government), and results in fresh COI (INC-25). Effective only after fresh COI issued - company must NOT use new name before this date.

    A name change does NOT create a new entity. CIN, PAN, TAN, all rights, obligations, contracts, assets, liabilities continue. All legal proceedings and agreements continue under the new name. But all registrations must be updated post-COI.

    Post-change updates: PAN card, GST certificate, bank accounts, statutory registers, company seal, letterheads, signage. Patron coordinates everything for Delhi companies.

    Key Terms for Change in Name of Company in Delhi:

    RUN: Reserve Unique Name. Rs 1,000. 1 proposed + 1 alternative. Reserved 20 days. Trademark pre-check essential.

    Special Resolution: 75% majority at EGM. Higher threshold than OR for capital changes.

    MGT-14: Special Resolution filing + linked e-MOA (INC-33) + e-AOA (INC-34). Within 30 days.

    INC-24/INC-25: Name change application → ROC issues fresh COI with new name, same CIN.
