Change of Registered Office Address in Bangalore, Karnataka — Process
Changing a company’s registered office address in Bangalore (Karnataka) is done through the MCA, and the process depends on whether you’re moving within the same city, within Karnataka, or across states. This guide explains the steps and documents for a registered-office change in Bangalore.
First: what kind of move is it?
- Within the same city/local limits (e.g., one part of Bangalore to another) — the simplest case.
- Within Karnataka but a different ROC jurisdiction / outside local limits — needs a members’ resolution.
- From Karnataka to another state — the most involved, needing a special resolution, Regional Director approval and more.
Change within the same city — the common case
- Pass a board resolution approving the new address.
- File Form INC-22 with the ROC within 30 days of the change, attaching proof of the new registered office.
- Update your records; the MCA master data reflects the new address.
Documents required
- Proof of the new registered office — a recent utility bill (electricity/telephone), not older than the prescribed period.
- Rent/lease agreement (if rented) and a No-Objection Certificate (NOC) from the owner.
- Board/members’ resolution as applicable.
Moving within Karnataka (different area) or to another state
A shift beyond local limits requires a special resolution (filed in MGT-14). A shift of registered office from one state to another additionally requires alteration of the MOA, Regional Director approval (Form INC-23), newspaper advertisement and notice to stakeholders, followed by INC-22 and INC-28. TAXAJ handles all three scenarios — see change of registered office.
