Name Change Process

What Is a Change in Company Name & Why It Matters

A Change in Company Name lets an existing company adopt a new name — for rebranding, resolving a trademark conflict, or reflecting a shift in business activity — under Section 13 of the Companies Act, 2013.

The process requires approval of the Board and shareholders, reservation of the new name with the MCA, and filing with the Registrar of Companies. Once approved, a fresh Certificate of Incorporation is issued in the new name, while the company's CIN, PAN, and legal identity remain unchanged.

TrustMark IP Consultants manages the complete journey — RUN name reservation, resolution drafting, MOA/AOA alteration, and ROC filing — so your rebrand is completed correctly and without disruption to ongoing operations.
