What is INC-22 Registered Office Filing?
The registered office is the official address where the company receives notices from authorities. Any change must be intimated to the ROC with valid address proof. Shifting within the same state but to another ROC jurisdiction, or to another state, requires additional approvals. TaxBucket assesses the type of change, drafts the board or special resolution and files INC-22 along with any other forms needed.
