Sharma & Sons Pvt Ltd has its registered office in Jaipur and wishes to shift it to another premises within the same city. What must the company do?
For shifting the registered office within the same city, the company only has to give notice of the new address to the Registrar within the prescribed period. Government approval and Tribunal confirmation are needed for inter-state or regional shifts, not for a local change.
- AObtain Central Government approval before shifting
- BGive notice of the new address to the Registrar within the prescribed periodCorrect
- CPass a special resolution and get Tribunal confirmation
- DNo intimation is needed to anyone
Explanation
For a change of registered office within the same city, only a board decision and notice of the new address to the Registrar within the prescribed time (30 days) is required. Central Government approval or a Tribunal order applies to shifting between states or regions, so those options are wrong.
