🧾 What is Company Address Change Filing?
Every company must maintain a registered office address as per MCA records. If there is any change in the registered office—within the same city, same state, or to another state—the company must file Form INC-22 with the Registrar of Companies (ROC) within the prescribed timeline.
Address changes can be of the following types:
- Within the same city or town
- Outside the local limits but within the same state and ROC
- From one state to another (involves INC-23 & RD approval)
✅ Who Needs to File?
- Private Limited Companies
- One Person Companies (OPCs)
- LLPs (with Form 15 instead of INC-22)
- Public Limited Companies
- Section 8 Companies
Change in communication address or office location without filing INC-22 is treated as non-compliance.
