Company Name Change
Rebranding or repositioning? We handle name approval, special resolution, ROC filing and the downstream updates - PAN, bank, licenses - that a name change touches.
The new name must be reserved and approved before any resolution is passed.
Your Corporate Identification Number is reissued, which affects several downstream registrations.
Bank accounts, licenses, contracts, and trademarks all need updating after the ROC approves the change.
The company's PAN doesn't change, but the name on record needs to be updated with the tax department.
From ROC approval to every downstream update.
New name checked for availability and reserved with the Registrar.
Shareholder approval and constitutional document amendment.
Forms filed with the Registrar; new incorporation certificate issued under the new name.
PAN, bank, GST, licenses and trademark records flagged for updating.
Part of Layer 3 - ComplianceStack, mainly for Existing Company Setup.
Choosing the right name at incorporation avoids the cost of changing it later - we help vet trademark and domain availability upfront.

Run your diagnostic →Nothing forgotten in the downstream update.
We track every downstream registration that references your old name so nothing is missed.
If you're also filing a new trademark, we sequence it alongside the ROC name change.
Existing contracts referencing the old name are flagged for amendment or novation as needed.
Common questions

Generally yes - a name change doesn't affect the legal entity's obligations, but referencing the correct name going forward avoids confusion.
Typically 3–5 weeks for the ROC approval, plus additional time for downstream registration updates depending on how many you hold.
