Compliances for Change in Registered Office of a Company
According to the Companies Act of 2013 (the "Act"), every company must have a registered office within thirty days of its incorporation. A corporation must always have a registered office while it is still forming. The Memorandum of Association (MOA) and Articles of Association both refer to the registered office (AOA).
All correspondence and notices issued to the company are received at the registered office. It is the company's official office where it does business. The Registrar of Companies ('ROC') must be informed of the registered office's address.
A firm could need to modify its registered office, nevertheless. In this scenario, the business must adhere to the Act's and the 2014 Companies (Incorporation) Rules' (the "Rules") requirements. The compliances that a firm must adhere to under various circumstances are listed below.
