Changing the name of a company in India is a formal process governed by the Companies Act, 2013. A company may decide to change its name due to rebranding, change in business activities, mergers, or other strategic reasons. The process begins with a board resolution approving the proposed new name, followed by checking the name availability on the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) portal. Once the proposed name is approved by the Registrar of Companies (ROC), the company must pass a special resolution in a general meeting to approve the name change. After the resolution, Form MGT-14 and Form INC-24 must be filed with the ROC along with the necessary documents and fees. Upon verification and approval, the ROC issues a fresh Certificate of Incorporation with the new name. The company is then required to update all legal documents, registrations, signage, branding, and official communication materials to reflect the new name.

Conclusion: A company name change is a legal procedure that enhances brand alignment or business clarity and must be carefully executed through proper compliance with the MCA regulations.
