Change in Company Name in Ranchi
Give your company a new identity without compliance trouble. We manage name approval, resolutions, MCA filings and the updates your new name needs.
A smooth rebrand, legally and on paper
A company can change its name by passing a special resolution, getting the new name approved and filing the change with the MCA. The Registrar then issues a fresh certificate of incorporation in the new name.
The name must not be identical or too similar to an existing company or trademark. After the change, you also need to update PAN, TAN, GST, bank accounts, licences and letterheads. We manage the process and these follow-ups.
What is involved
- A board meeting and a special resolution passed by shareholders
- Approval of the new name on the MCA portal, free of conflicts with existing names and trademarks
- The new name must be suitable for the company type, for example ending in “Private Limited” or “Limited”
- Amendment of the Memorandum and Articles of Association to reflect the new name
- Filing of the change with the Registrar of Companies within the prescribed time
- Updating all other records and registrations with the new name

Common questions
Can any name be chosen?
No. The name must be available and not identical or too similar to an existing company or trademark, and it must follow the naming rules. We check this before filing.
Do shareholders need to approve a name change?
Yes. A change of name requires a special resolution of the shareholders, and the Articles and Memorandum are amended accordingly.
Does the company’s identity or CIN change?
The company remains the same legal entity, with its liabilities and contracts intact. A fresh certificate of incorporation is issued in the new name.
What about changing from private to public limited?
That is a conversion of company type rather than a simple name change. It follows a different procedure, and we can help with it.
How long does it take?
It depends on name approval and how quickly documents are ready. We give you a realistic estimate when we start.
This page is general guidance based on the Companies Act, 2013 and MCA procedures as we understand them. Forms, fees, due dates and relief schemes change, so we confirm the latest position for your company before we begin.
