What Does Changing a Company's Legal Name Mean?
Changing a company's legal name is a formal process under the Companies Act, 2013. It generally involves selecting an available name, obtaining the required shareholder approval, filing prescribed forms and receiving approval from the Registrar of Companies (ROC).
A company may consider changing its name because of rebranding, a revised business focus, expansion plans or changes in its corporate identity. The proposed name must satisfy applicable legal requirements and must not conflict with prohibited or restricted names.
