Determine the type of registered office change, applicable MCA forms, board/shareholder resolutions required, ROC fees, and step-by-step procedure under the Companies Act, 2013.
Registered office change is governed by Sections 12-13 of the Companies Act 2013, with different procedures depending on the nature of change: within local limits of city (board resolution + INC-22); within state but outside city (special resolution + INC-22 + INC-23 if change of jurisdiction within state); from one state to another (special resolution + Regional Director approval under Section 13(4) + ROC re-registration).
Inter-state shift is the most complex — requires creditor and member consents, public notice, Regional Director approval (typically 4-8 months), and complete re-registration including updated state-specific stamp duty discharge.
