A change in registered office of the company sounds like a one-line update. It is not. Indian company law treats the address as the place where the Registrar sends every notice, so moving it follows a route that depends on how far you move. This guide maps the four routes, the forms and the deadlines, and shows where a new address can come from if you no longer need a physical office.

What is a change in registered office of the company?
It is any move of the address the company has notified to the Registrar of Companies. Section 12 of the Companies Act, 2013 requires every company to keep a registered office able to receive notices, and to report each change to the Registrar.
The deadline is thirty days from the change. The Companies (Amendment) Act, 2017 replaced the original fifteen days with thirty in section 12(4). The notice goes in e-form INC-22, with proof that the company has the right to use the new premises.
What changes with distance is everything before that notice: who has to approve the move, and whether an authority outside the company has a say.
Which route applies to your change of registered office?
Four situations, four routes. Find the row that matches the new address, because every change in registered office of the company starts with this question.
| Where the new address is | Approval inside the company | Filings | Outside approval |
|---|---|---|---|
| Same city, town or village | Board resolution | INC-22 within 30 days of the change | None |
| Outside local limits, same state, same ROC | Board resolution, then special resolution | MGT-14 within 30 days of the resolution; INC-22 within 30 days of the change | None |
| Another ROC within the same state | Special resolution | MGT-14; INC-23 application; INC-28 with the order; INC-22 | Regional Director |
| Another state | Special resolution altering the memorandum | MGT-14; newspaper and creditor notices; INC-23; INC-28 within 30 days of the order; INC-22 | Regional Director for the Central Government |
Within the same city the board decides alone. Once the address leaves the local limits, shareholders vote a special resolution, and a move across Registrar or state lines adds the Regional Director. The MCA instruction kit for INC-22 lists the extra attachments for those moves: the Regional Director’s order for a change of Registrar, and the altered memorandum for a change of state.
A state change is the heaviest route for a change in registered office of the company. The memorandum names the state, so the registered office clause itself changes, and creditors and the public get a chance to object before the Regional Director rules.
What does a change in registered office of the company cost?
Three costs add up: government filing fees, professional fees and the new address. MCA filing fees for MGT-14, INC-22 and INC-23 scale with the company’s share capital, and additional fees apply when a form is late. Company secretaries quote their own fees for drafting resolutions and filing.
The address is the cost you control. On Wezoo, a Virtual Office package with company registration runs from ₹2,250 to ₹5,050 per month on a term of 24+ months. Prices are indicative; request a quote and the operator confirms the price and the document set.
Do not forget GST after the move
If the registered office is also your principal place of business for GST, a change in registered office of the company changes the GST record too. Under rule 19 of the CGST Rules, you file the amendment within fifteen days of the change, and the officer approves it within fifteen working days.
The address of the principal place of business is a core field, so it needs the tax officer’s approval, as the GST portal’s guide to core field amendments explains. A move to another state is different again: GST registration is state-wise and the principal place of business must be in the state of registration, so you register afresh in the new state.
When does a virtual office make sense as the new registered office?
When the address has a paperwork job and no desk job, a virtual office is the simplest way to complete a change in registered office of the company. INC-22 asks for proof of the address, a utility bill no older than two months, the owner’s permission to use the premises and a list of other companies at the same address. A good operator hands you that set without a fight.
It fits a company that works remotely, a founder moving to another state, or a group consolidating entities at one address. It does not fit a business whose licences tie it to a physical site, such as a factory or a shop. Then you need real premises, and a private office is the better route.
Ask three questions before you sign. Will the rent or licence agreement be in the company’s name? Will the owner sign a no objection letter for registered office and GST use? Who meets an officer who comes to verify the address?

Who uses a virtual office as a registered office?
Three groups come up again and again. Startups registered at a founder’s home that now want a commercial address on the master data. Companies moving their registered office to another state because the founders or the customers moved. Groups that keep several small entities and want each at a clean, documented address.
All three want the same thing from a change in registered office of the company: an address that passes the Registrar’s checks and the GST officer’s checks, and a mailroom that forwards the post that arrives there. For the GST side in detail, read our guide to a virtual office for GST registration.
How to request an address on Wezoo, and when to start
Plan a change in registered office of the company backwards from the filing date. The utility bill has to be recent when you file, and the thirty-day clock starts on the day of the change, so line up the documents before the board meets.
On Wezoo, open an address, choose the Virtual Office package and send a request. The operator replies with the quote and the documents they provide. City guides go deeper on two big markets: the virtual office in Bangalore and the virtual office in Delhi.

Change in registered office of the company: FAQ
How many days do I have to file INC-22 after a change in registered office of the company?
Thirty days from the date of the change. The Companies (Amendment) Act, 2017 extended the window in section 12(4) from fifteen to thirty days, so older guides that say fifteen are out of date.
Does a change of registered office need shareholder approval?
Only when the new address is outside the local limits of the city, town or village where the office sits now. A move within the same city needs a board resolution; a move outside it needs a special resolution, filed in MGT-14.
Who approves a move of the registered office to another state?
The Regional Director, acting for the Central Government, on an application in Form INC-23. The company also alters the registered office clause of its memorandum, publishes a newspaper notice and serves notice on creditors before applying.
Can a virtual office be the registered office of a company in India?
Yes, when the documents are in order. Form INC-22 asks for proof of the address, a recent utility bill, the owner’s permission to use the premises and a list of other companies at the same address, so a shared address is expected.
Do I need to update GST after shifting the registered office?
Yes, if the registered office is also your principal place of business. File an amendment within fifteen days of the change; the tax officer has fifteen working days to approve it. A move to another state needs a fresh GST registration there, because registration is state-wise.
What does a Virtual Office package with company registration cost on Wezoo?
Between ₹2,250 and ₹5,050 per month on a term of 24+ months across 149 Indian addresses. Prices are indicative; the operator confirms the exact quote and document set when you request an address.
The address is the easy part
The route decides the work. The address decides nothing, as long as its paperwork holds. Pick the route first, then the address, and file the change in registered office of the company inside thirty days.
