Form INC-22 is used to inform the ROC of the new registered office address. For inter-state shift, Form MGT-14 is filed for the special resolution and confirmation from the Regional Director under section 13(4) of the Companies Act, 2013 is required before INC-22 is filed.
For within-city and within-state changes, board resolution is sufficient. For inter-state shift, special resolution under section 13(1) is required at a general meeting and confirmation from the Regional Director under section 13(4) is needed.
Within-city / within-state shifts take 10-15 working days via INC-22 filing. Inter-state shifts take 15-25 working days as the Regional Director's confirmation under section 13(4) is required. Delays occur if the RD raises objections or asks for additional documents.
New office address proof (utility bill not older than 2 months), lease deed / rent agreement with NOC from the owner, and DSC of the authorised director. For inter-state shifts, special resolution and RD confirmation under section 13(4) are additional requirements.
