New Rules for Changing Registered Office
The Companies Act now requires distinct steps when a business shifts its registered office, including board resolution, filing Form INC-22, updating the MCA portal, and notifying shareholders. Failure to follow the new procedures can attract penalties and may delay AOC‑4 filing deadlines, impacting compliance for the financial year.
Key Updates
- Companies must pass a board resolution before moving the registered office.
- File Form INC-22 on the MCA portal within 30 days of the change.
- Update the address in the statutory registers and inform all shareholders.
