A registered office is the official address of the company recorded with the Registrar of Companies where all government, legal and other communication are sent. Company may decide to change its registered office within a city or within a state or shift in another state to seek more growth in terms of resources, public demand, government policies, or better management etc. The procedures and formalities for relocating the registered office vary depending on whether the company is shifting its address within the same city; from one city to another within the same state; or shifting from one state to another state. Company who has shifted registered office has to submit necessary form to ROC within 30 days of such change. Further a special resolution is needed in the case registered office has been shifted to another city in the same state. However in case where a registered office has been shifted from one state to another, the Company has to do certain compliances and formalities which include a newspaper advertisement and also a notice to the State Government and obtain NOC.
