3. Expansion or Diversification
- When a company diversifies into new business areas, a name change may better reflect the expanded scope.
4. Legal or Regulatory Reasons
- MCA may require a name change if the current name violates naming rules, is similar to an existing company, or uses prohibited words.

Board Approval
The board of directors approves the proposal for changing the company name in a board meeting. A board resolution is passed recommending the change.

A special resolution is passed by shareholders in a general meeting (EGM) approving the new name. Required supporting documents, such as explanatory statements, are prepared.
3. Reserve Unique Name (RUN) Application
The company submits the proposed new name to MCA via the RUN (Reserve Unique Name) service. MCA checks the name against existing companies and naming rules.

MCA reviews the RUN application and, if compliant, approves the new name. The approved name is valid for 20 days, extendable if necessary.
