What is Company Name Change?
A company can change its name at any time for rebranding, a change in business focus or a merger. The new name must be available and follow MCA naming rules.
After the change, the ROC issues a fresh Certificate of Incorporation in the new name. PAN, GST, bank accounts and licences must then be updated.
