Company Name Change and MCA Approval Support
Change the company legal name through the appropriate approval and filing process. TaxQue helps review proposed names, company status, resolutions and altered documents for the work included in your engagement. Share the current name, proposed alternatives and business reason before starting.
A legal name change is different from a brand, trademark or trade-name update. Confirm name-application, meeting, amendment and filing support in the quote. MCA approval does not provide trademark clearance or automatically update GST, bank, contracts and licences; those records need separate attention.
What is Company Name Change?
Review the proposed legal name: Check relevant naming requirements and company particulars before applying; availability is not guaranteed.
Prepare approvals and altered documents: Organise the applicable company resolutions and memorandum or articles changes for the selected route.
Update connected business records: After the legal change, review tax, bank, licence, contract and branding records separately.

Forms, fees, due dates and eligibility can change and may differ by entity, state, activity or tax year. We confirm the relevant official instructions and the applicant’s facts before filing. Government fees, taxes, stamp duty, third-party charges and professional fees are identified separately in the engagement.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers about Company Name Change
Under Section 13(2) of the Companies Act, 2013, changing a company's name involves 4 key steps: (1) Reserving the new proposed name on the MCA portal via RUN / SPICe+ Part A, (2) Convening a Board Meeting to approve the name and issue EGM notice, (3) Passing a Special Resolution in an EGM and filing Form MGT-14 within 30 days, and (4) Filing Form INC-24 for Central Government (ROC) approval to obtain a fresh Certificate of Incorporation.
Under Rule 8 of Companies (Incorporation) Rules, the proposed name must be unique, align with the company's business activities, not resemble any existing registered company/LLP, and not infringe on any registered trademark. TaxQue conducts comprehensive MCA database and trademark registry searches before applying to reduce the risk of rejection.
The complete process takes approximately 7 to 10 working days. Name approval (RUN) takes 2 to 3 days, followed by EGM documentation, Form MGT-14 filing, and Form INC-24 processing to receive the fresh Certificate of Incorporation.
Your case is managed by an experienced Company Secretary and Corporate Legal Associate. We draft the Board Resolutions, EGM Notices, Explanatory Statements under Section 102, altered MOA/AOA, and complete CS certifications on the MCA portal.
You need: (1) Notice of EGM with Explanatory Statement, (2) Certified True Copy of Special Resolution, (3) Altered Memorandum of Association (MOA) and Articles of Association (AOA) with the new name, (4) Copy of MGT-14 approval challan, (5) Minutes of the EGM, and (6) Class 3 DSC of an authorized director.
