After name change of a private limited company, on what all documents(eg: letterhead, stamp etc) the old name also needs to be specified? For example: Formerly known as XXX Ltd
Thanks in advance

As of now, there is no legal requirement as such for specifying old name. It is just for sake of easy identification that you can mention old name also on letter heads, invoices, advertisements, notice boards & other documents etc. for some period (say one year or so).

This provision is mentioned in section 12 of the Companies Act, 2013. But section 12 is not yet notified. So as of now no such requirement.
