Updated Certificate of Incorporation

This query is : Resolved 

10 October 2022 Hello Team,

In 2019 we changed object of company and we received the certificate of object change from mca. And our CIN was changed during the process and new CIN is mentioned on the certificate of object change.

How can we get new updated COI ( which has the new CIN mentioned ) ?

11 October 2022 See the link and download certificate of incorporation.

11 October 2022 New certificate of incorporation is not issued by mca and i can even see that in public documents section of mca, COI is old. Either that means Once COI is issued then it never changes or there is an error.

11 October 2022 You can login to MCA and download the incorporation certificate with new CIN
Enter new CIN when login.

11 October 2022 Logged In and still the OLD COI in scanned documents and public documents

11 October 2022 No problem download new COI

11 October 2022 download the COI but still it's old COI containing OLD CIN number.

New COI is no where to be found. Some people told me that once COI is issued then it will not be changed unless there are certain conditions met but my condition does not trigger new COI

11 October 2022 No problem continues with old CIN.

12 October 2022 Thank You for your response but I wanted updated COI with new CIN mentioned on the COI.

So far not found any way to get the new COI

02 August 2025 Thanks for sharing the details! Here’s a clear explanation about your situation regarding the Certificate of Incorporation (COI) and change of CIN after altering the company’s object:

Key Points about Certificate of Incorporation (COI) and CIN Change:
Certificate of Incorporation (COI) is Issued Once:

The original COI is issued at the time of company incorporation.

This certificate contains the initial CIN assigned to the company.

Change in Company Object & New CIN:

When you alter the company’s object clause via special resolution and get approval from MCA, sometimes the CIN gets updated.

The new CIN reflects changes in the company’s status/type/nature after alteration.

Is a New COI Issued?

No, MCA generally does NOT issue a new Certificate of Incorporation just for object changes.

The original COI remains the same, showing the old CIN.

The change is recorded in other documents like the Certificate of Amendment or Order of the Registrar.

Where to Find the Updated CIN and Object Change?

Updated CIN and changes are reflected in:

MCA portal company master data (under the company’s profile).

Certificate of Amendment or other filings you received from MCA.

These documents serve as proof of change, not a new COI.

What to Do if You Need Proof of New CIN?

Use the Certificate of Amendment issued by MCA.

The updated CIN will be on MCA’s master data (accessible via MCA portal).

You may download the e-Form INC-7 / INC-28 (if applicable) or amendment documents as proof.

Summary:
Document Purpose
Original COI Issued at incorporation; shows old CIN
Certificate of Amendment Shows changes in object, new CIN details
MCA Master Data Updated CIN and company details visible

What You Can Do Next:
Download and keep the Certificate of Amendment safely.

When sharing company details, provide:

Original COI

Certificate of Amendment showing new CIN and changed object

Check MCA website’s Company Master Data for updated CIN.

Final Note:
The MCA system doesn’t replace the original COI with a new one on every change. Instead, it maintains the record of changes via amendment certificates.
