Schedule a Call

Every corporate entity evolves — whether it’s rebranding with a new name, restructuring the board of directors, altering the share capital, or refining business objectives. These changes are legally significant and must be reflected in your company’s statutory records and approved by the Registrar of Companies (RoC) under the Companies Act, 2013.

TaxHit Consultancy specialises in guiding businesses through every type of corporate amendment — from drafting resolutions to e-filings and ROC approvals — to ensure your company stays compliant and future-ready.

Eligibility – Who Can Apply

These corporate changes are applicable to:

  • Private Limited Companies
  • Public Limited Companies
  • Unlisted Corporate Entities
  • Startups & Established Firms

Each change has specific eligibility criteria under the Act, depending on the company’s structure and statutory history.

Overview – What These Corporate Changes Mean

Company Name Change

Changing your company’s name may be necessary for rebranding, business expansion, or aligning with its commercial activities. However, this change must be legally effected through amendments to the Memorandum of Association (MOA) and approved by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) via RoC. 

Director Change

Changes in directorship — including appointment, resignation, or removal — must be notified to the RoC and documented correctly. Directors are key decision-makers, and any change affects corporate governance and statutory filings. 

Capital Change (Increase/Reduction)

Modifying authorised or paid-up share capital is a strategic decision that impacts ownership, funding and compliance. Capital changes require amendments to MOA and adherence to procedures under Sections 61 & 64 of the Companies Act. 

Object Clause Change

Altering the object clause in the MOA allows companies to expand or modify their scope of business legally. This is governed by Section 13 of the Companies Act and requires a special resolution and ROC approval.
