Company Name Change

Changing a company’s name is a four-step sequence: reserve the new name via RUN (with the same conflict rules as incorporation), pass a special resolution (MGT-14), apply in INC-24 for Central Government approval, and receive a fresh certificate of incorporation — the CIN stays, the identity continues, contracts survive.

The aftermath is where rebrands leak: PAN, TAN, GST, bank accounts, licenses, letterheads and statutory registers all need the new name, and the old name must appear alongside the new one on documents for two years. We run the sequence and the aftermath as one project — and check the trademark position on the new name before you fall in love with it.
