Rule 30 - Shifting of registered office from one State or Union territory to another State

Shifting of Registered Office inter-state: statutory process requires central approval, creditor notice, public advertisement and objection hearings.

An application under section 13(4) to shift a company's registered office inter state must be filed in Form INC-23 with prescribed documents including the amended memorandum, minutes and board resolution, a verified list of creditors and debenture-holders, authenticated copies of advertisements and notices, and tabulated objections and company responses; the company must advertise and serve notices, keep the creditor list for inspection, and the Central Government will decide without hearing if no objections arise or conduct hearings and require affidavits where objections are made, with shifting barred during pending inquiries, investigations or prosecutions except in certain approved insolvency plan circumstances.
