Question and options
Which approval is ordinarily used to move a company’s registered office within the local limits of the same city, with notice filed with the Registrar?
Resolution of the board
Special resolution of the members
Prior approval of the Central Government
Prior approval of the National Company Law Tribunal
Answer and explanation
Section 12(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 requires a special resolution only for moving the registered office outside the local limits of the city, town or village where it is situated, and a move between the jurisdictions of two Registrars within a State also needs confirmation by the Regional Director. A shift within the same local limits is therefore made by board resolution, with notice of the change filed with the Registrar under section 12(4).
