21 September 2013 What is the name appearing in the VAT RC. Is it in the name of proprietor or in the name of firm? If it is in the name of the proprietor, there is no much difference you can simply write a letter to the VAT officr, duly acknowledged stating that the name of the firm is changed. If it is partnership firm? you have to surrender the earlier RC and apply for new one.

22 September 2013 There is an amendment form for name change.You have to change in all other licenses like, shops and establishment act, municipal license etc., and submit your application with proof of such changed documents.

In my opinion, since the prop is no more, the sales tax dept will ask you have to surrender your RC and to apply new one.
