Document background
The Certificate of Incorporation Change of Name is a fundamental document required when an Indian company decides to modify its registered name. This certificate is issued under the authority of Section 13 of the Companies Act, 2013, and serves as conclusive evidence of the company's name change. Companies may seek a name change for various reasons, including rebranding, merger/acquisition, change in business focus, or global expansion. The certificate is obtained after a rigorous process involving name approval, special resolution passage, and RoC application. It includes crucial details such as the company's old and new names, CIN, effective date of change, and official authentication. This document is essential for updating all company records, business relationships, and legal documentation, and must be maintained as part of the company's permanent records in compliance with Indian corporate law.
