INC-22 – Notice of Situation of Registered Office
Form INC-22 is used to notify the Ministry of Corporate Affairs about the location or change in the registered office of a company. Under the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013, every company must maintain a registered office where official communications, statutory records, and notices from regulatory authorities are received.
The registered office serves as the official address of the company for legal and regulatory purposes. Whenever a company establishes its registered office after incorporation or shifts the office to a new location, it is required to file Form INC-22 with the Registrar of Companies within the prescribed time limit.
Filing INC-22 ensures that the Registrar of Companies has updated information about the company’s registered office address. This helps maintain accurate records and ensures that official communications from government authorities can be delivered to the correct location.
