In case of change of name say from XYZ Ltd. to ABC Ltd. is it mandatory under any statute to mention on the letterheads or any communication with the outsiders the old name refereing the same as " formerly ltd." after new name. If yes than till what period and under which statute.

In companies Act there is no provision for the stating old name but as per listing agreement it should be stated in all places where name of company is stated for 1 year.
Hence it is advisable to state the former name of the company for 1 year
