Short answer

A company must tell the Registrar about any change of registered office on Form INC-22 within 15 days of the change. What else you need depends on how far you move: within the same city or town, a board resolution is generally enough; to another place in the same State, a special resolution (filed on MGT-14) is needed; to another State, you must also alter the Memorandum and get Regional Director approval before the move. Check the current rules and forms on the MCA portal before you file.

Last updated 3 November 2026. Rules, fees and forms change, so confirm the current position on the official portal before you act.

THE OUTCOME YOU ARE BUYING

02
Document readiness

03
Preparation

COMMON MISTAKES

Avoid preventable delays, rework and scope gaps.

These issues commonly surface after a commercial commitment, deadline or authority query has already created time pressure.

Starting without an applicability check

This can select the wrong form, authority or document route.

Using inconsistent source data

Conflicts create queries and correction work.

RISK CONTROL

Small input errors can create larger commercial or compliance consequences.

Review the requirement early, disclose accurate facts and retain a complete approval and completion trail.

Delay exposureLate action may narrow options or add cost.
Rejection or queryIncomplete or inconsistent records can trigger follow-up.

Which type of move are you making?

Within the same city, town or village: a board resolution is generally enough, followed by Form INC-22.
Outside the local limits but inside the same State: a special resolution passed by members and filed on MGT-14, then INC-22. If the move takes you into another Registrar's jurisdiction, Regional Director approval is also needed.
From one State or Union Territory to another: change of the registered office clause in the Memorandum by special resolution, Regional Director confirmation through Form INC-23, then filing the order with the Registrar.
Please confirm the exact route against the current Companies Act, 2013 and the Companies (Incorporation) Rules before you start. The route changes the timeline by weeks.

What the Registrar will check on INC-22

The form needs proof that the company can use the new address: a rent agreement or ownership document, a no-objection letter from the owner, a recent utility bill, and the usual director signatures. A company's registered office address is also used for service of notices, so the address must be real and reachable. Mismatch between the form and the document is the usual reason for a resubmission.

After the filing: updates people forget

GST registration: add the new place of business through an amendment, because the GST address is separate from the MCA address (see our GST registration amendment page).
PAN and TAN, bank accounts, Udyam, Shops and Establishment, FSSAI and other licences.
Letterheads, invoices, website footer, e-mail signatures and statutory registers.
Director and shareholder intimation, as the company's articles require.

Typical steps for a move inside the same State

1
Days 1 to 3
Check the lease or ownership document, the owner's NOC and the new address proof.
2
Days 3 to 7
Hold the board meeting; for a move outside local limits, issue notice and pass the special resolution.
3
Within 30 days of resolution
File MGT-14 where a special resolution was passed.
4
Within 15 days of the change
File INC-22 with the new address proof and attachments.
5
After approval
Update GST, bank, PAN and licences, and the statutory registers.

Common mistakes to avoid

Treating a move to another State like a local move. It needs a Memorandum alteration and Regional Director confirmation.
Filing INC-22 after the 15-day limit and paying additional fees.
Using an address document in a name other than the owner's without an NOC.
Updating the MCA address but leaving the old address on GST, bank and licences.
