Here is the step-by-step procedure for a company willing to change its name:

Conduct Board Meeting: Directors discuss the proposed name. A notice of 7 days is issued to convene the board meeting and pass the necessary resolution for name change. Resolutions passed include:

Authorization to apply to ROC for confirming the availability of the selected name.
Fixing the date, time, and venue for the Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) to approve the new name and alter the Memorandum of Association (MOA).
Check Name Availability: Check the name’s availability through MCA to ensure it’s not registered as a trademark or company name.

Apply Online for Name Approval: Apply through the web service RUN for name approval. Up to two names can be applied with a fee of INR 1000. Attach the board resolution authorizing the name change.

Conduct EGM: After ROC approves the name, convene an EGM to pass a Special Resolution approving the name change and amending the MOA & AOA.

File with ROC: Within 30 days of the EGM, file the Special Resolution with ROC in form MGT-14, along with annexures:

Certified True Copy (CTC) of Special Resolution
Notice of EGM with explanatory statement

Altered AOA
Approval of Central Government: Obtain approval by filing form INC-24 with the Central Government. Attach the EGM minutes with the Special Resolution.
