Alpine Textiles AG has registered its Indian place of business. Eight months later it appoints a new person resident in India to accept service of process on its behalf. Under Section 380, what must it do?

The foreign company must deliver to the Registrar, within thirty days of the change, a return in the prescribed form giving particulars of the alteration. The authorised person's details were filed under Section 380, so a change cannot wait for the balance sheet filing.
