First of all hold the board meeting to change the name and object and get the approval of board for changing its name. then check whether the new name you want to change with, exist or not as per the name guidelines issued by MCA i.e. the new name should not match with any other existing name or trade mark etc.an apply for approval of that name. Then hold an EGM where pass the resolution that the company want to change its name along with the object with an explanatory statement describing why the company want to change its name. after passing the resolution in EGM, file the requisite forms 23 and 1B with the concerned ROC. the name will be changed and the company will be provided with the amended certificate exhibiting the new name

Ankur,

Whether an existing Private Ltd company having main object of real estate could be changed to any other object? Is there any precaution need be taken in the procedures or else.
