Yes, the object clause is part of the Memorandum which must be altered to give the effect of the change of business objective. The said altered MOA shall also be filed with ROC while making an application. Where the Registrar deems appropriate, he may ask for the adoption of new set of Memorandum and Articles in line with Companies Act, 2013.
If the change of name of the company is made due to a change in the main object of the company, both the procedures can be carried on simultaneously. However, as the approval of the government is involved, the period can vary based on the response and time taken by ROC.
The change in name of the company is not necessary in every case. However, where the existing name of the company fails to reflect the new activities or any relations thereto, the registrar may direct to change the name of the company accordingly.
One should make sure that the new object also covers all the ancillary activities to the main object. Also, the name should represent the object correctly even after the change of the object, else the RoC may direct name change.
An application to update business activity is filed within 30 days of obtaining the consent of shareholders (i.e. General Meeting). It must be noted that the approval is obtained before indulging in activities.
