Altering Name in MOA

To make changes in the name of the company it will be required to alter the MOA by passing a special resolution. In the case of a name change for the case of Private Limited Company or Public Limited Company, no approval for central government is needed. However, in other cases the consent of the central government is necessary.

Also, in case if the company is registered with a name that shows resemblance or similarity with an existing company then the central government will step in and ask for a name change. But an ordinary resolution is adequate for such cases.
