The registered office of a company is considered where all the authority associations identified with the organization are sent. Apart from the registered office, a company owns a wide range of workplaces, for example, corporate office, managerial office, branch office, and factory.

Documentation for company registered office change
At the time of incorporation of a Company, it is important to announce the registered office of the Company and submit narrative proof. Typically, the following reports should be submitted while pronouncing an registered office of an organization during incorporation:

• Electricity Bill/Water Bill/Property Tax Receipt
• No-Objection Certificate (NOC) from Landlord for the office that registered
• Rental or Lease Agreement among Landlord and the Company

It is important to note that the name and address referenced on the power charge/water charge/local charge receipt precisely coordinate the NOC Certificate from Landlord and the Rental Agreement. Further, the enrolled office of an organization can't be empty land or working under construction. In any case, there is also no requirement for the enlisted office to be a business or industrial property. The enlisted office of an organization can also be private property.

In case the company has not chosen the enrolled office of the Company while petitioning for incorporation, the Companies Act, 2013 gives the choice to the Company to announce a temporary location. The enlisted office of the Company should then be announced by filing INC 22 within 15 days of incorporation of the Company.
