ROC & CORPORATE COMPLIANCE · INDIA
Reserving a new name does not rename an existing company. A voluntary change needs the applicable name approval, company decision and MCA process, and becomes complete and effective on issue of the fresh certificate of incorporation. Plan the legal change and the customer-facing transition together so records do not contradict each other.

FROM FIRST CONVERSATION TO HANDOVER
We prepare, coordinate and track the agreed work. You stay involved in the decisions that matter.
Check the stated reason, company context and required name evidence.
Map RUN validity and the applicable resolution sequence.
Reconcile MGT-14, linked constitution and INC-24 inputs.
Record the fresh certificate or outstanding query.
Reservation validity, company decision dates, the applicable resolution-filing deadline and MCA processing must be tracked separately. No fixed approval time or universal reservation period is promised; the fresh certificate establishes completion.
KNOW EXACTLY WHERE YOU STAND
The written engagement confirms your deliverables and costs before work starts.
ANSWERS BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Need help with your specific situation?
Talk to our teamSection 13(3) makes the change complete and effective only when the Registrar issues the fresh certificate of incorporation with the new name. RUN reservation or form payment alone is not that event.

The existing-company workflow uses RUN name reservation, the relevant resolution filing through MGT-14 and INC-24 for name-change approval, with the applicable linked constitutional forms. Confirm company-specific prerequisites before submission.

Check the actual approved reservation, applicable rules and any current MCA extension notice. A period quoted for new incorporation is not a safe substitute for your existing-company name-change approval.
No trademark registration is delivered by this name-change service. Assess existing brand rights separately; the Companies Act also recognises rectification where a company name conflicts with a registered trademark.

This is a change to the existing company's name, not a fresh incorporation of another business. Do not treat it as cancellation of existing debts, agreements or compliance responsibilities.
Section 12 contains former-name display and publication requirements for names changed during the preceding two years. Build the applicable signs and business-document updates into the handover checklist.

| Question | What matters | Next step |
|---|---|---|
| Reason and proposed name | Explain the rebrand or business reason and prepare alternatives. | Name availability is not trademark ownership or permission to use a protected expression. |
| Reservation status | Check the approved RUN reference and actual validity. | Use the applicable approval and current extension notices; do not rely on a fixed period copied from an old incorporation guide. |
| Company readiness | Review current filings, approvals and authorised signatories. | Unresolved defaults or inconsistent records can prevent a routine name-change application. |
| Go-live date | Wait for the fresh certificate before treating the legal change as complete. | Coordinate bank, tax, contracts and customer communications against the actual outcome. |

One specified service engagement. Confirm the applicant, deliverables and exclusions in writing before work starts.
Separate the agreed professional fee from MCA application/filing charges, taxes and any separately requested trademark or registration updates. A reservation fee buys an application step, not final name approval.
Reservation validity, company decision dates, the applicable resolution-filing deadline and MCA processing must be tracked separately. No fixed approval time or universal reservation period is promised; the fresh certificate establishes completion.
