25 July 2025 Got it! You need a **Petition format under Section 17A of the Companies Act, 1956** (or relevant section under Companies Act, 2013) for **shifting the registered office** from Mumbai to Pune, which is an attachment to **Form 1AD**.

Here’s a simple **Petition format** you can use as a template:

---

### **Company Letterhead**

**IN THE MATTER OF THE COMPANIES ACT, 1956**
AND
**IN THE MATTER OF \[Company Name]**
(Company Registration No: \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_)

**PETITION UNDER SECTION 17A OF THE COMPANIES ACT, 1956**
FOR SHIFTING OF REGISTERED OFFICE

To,
The Registrar of Companies,
\[Name of ROC Office - Mumbai]

**The humble petition of the members of \[Company Name],** a company incorporated under the Companies Act, 1956 and having its registered office at \[Current Registered Office Address, Mumbai],

**Respectfully Sheweth:**

1. That the company was incorporated on \[Date] and the registered office is presently situated at \[Mumbai Address].

2. The company intends to shift its registered office from Mumbai (within jurisdiction of ROC Mumbai) to Pune (within jurisdiction of ROC Pune).

3. The company believes that shifting the registered office to Pune would be beneficial for its business operations due to \[state reasons briefly, e.g., proximity to suppliers/customers, better infrastructure, etc.].

4. The company has complied with the provisions of Section 17A of the Companies Act, 1956, including convening a general meeting on \[Date] where members passed a special resolution approving the shifting of the registered office.

5. All documents required as per Companies Act and ROC guidelines are attached herewith.

**PRAYER:**
In view of the above, it is respectfully prayed that the Registrar of Companies may kindly allow the shifting of the registered office of the company from Mumbai to Pune and allow the necessary entries to be made in the records.

**Date:**
**Place:**

For and on behalf of
\[Company Name]

---

Authorized Signatory
(Name and Designation)

---

### Attachments usually include:

* Copy of Special Resolution passed by members
* Address proof of new office
* List of creditors and other statutory requirements

---

**Note:**

* For Companies Act, 2013, the relevant section is **Section 12** and **Form INC-22** (for change of registered office) needs to be filed. But since you mentioned **Form 1AD and Petition under Section 17A**, I assume this is under older provisions or specific state law.

* Double-check with ROC or your Company Secretary to confirm if any jurisdiction-specific format is required.

---

If you want, I can also help draft the **special resolution** or the **Form 1AD** attachments checklist. Just let me know!
