Registered Office Change for a Company
Changing a company's registered office — within the same city, across cities in the same state, or across states — requires specific MCA forms and approvals. SS Marks manages the complete process.
Office change filed without disruption.
The process for changing a registered office varies based on whether the change is within the same city (board resolution + INC-22), to a different city within the same state (special resolution + INC-22), or to a different state (special resolution + MGT-14 + INC-23 before Regional Director + amendment to MOA). SS Marks handles all three scenarios.

How we handle this for you
Scenario determination
We confirm whether the change is within the same city, across cities in the same state, or across states — each has a different filing pathway.
Resolution drafting
Board resolution (and special resolution if required) prepared and adopted.
INC-22 / MGT-14 filing
Required forms filed with MCA within the prescribed timelines. For inter-state changes, INC-23 petition filed before Regional Director.
MOA amendment (if inter-state)
For a state change, the MOA Clause II is amended after Regional Director approval and Form MGT-14 filed.
Frequently asked questions
What forms are required for a same-city registered office change?
Within the same city, only a board resolution and Form INC-22 are required. INC-22 must be filed within 30 days of the board meeting.
What is needed to move a registered office to a different city in the same state?
Contact us to know the exact pricing for your requirement.
How long does an inter-state office change take?
An inter-state registered office change requires approval from the Regional Director (Form INC-23). This process typically takes 4–8 weeks from the date of filing, subject to RD processing times.
Does the MOA need to be amended for an inter-state move?
Yes. The MOA's Situation Clause (Clause II) specifies the state of incorporation. An inter-state move requires an amendment to this clause, filed with MCA after Regional Director approval.
What happens if INC-22 is not filed on time?
