Whether you are pivoting your business model, undergoing a strategic rebranding, or aligning your legal structure after an acquisition, changing your Private Limited Company or LLP name is a major strategic milestone that requires precise legal execution. Under the Companies Act, 2013 and the LLP Act, 2008, a corporate name change involves a strict, multi-step regulatory process—from RUN name reservation on the MCA portal to holding an EGM, amending your MOA/AOA, and filing Form INC-24 or LLP-5. Missing statutory filing deadlines like MGT-14 can result in heavy daily penalties and unnecessary delays.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does changing the company name affect its legal identity or PAN?
No. The company's legal entity, Corporate Identification Number (CIN), and PAN remain exactly the same. Only the name on the PAN card needs to be updated post-approval.
What is Form INC-24?
Form INC-24 is the final application filed with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) to request the issuance of a new Certificate of Incorporation following a company name change.
How long does the name change process take?
Typically, it takes about 15 to 25 working days, subject to MCA processing times and the immediate availability/approval of your proposed new name via the RUN service.
Do I need to update my bank accounts and GST after the change?
Yes. Once the new Certificate of Incorporation is issued, you must update your company name across all registrations, including GST, MSME, EPFO, and all corporate bank accounts.
