A NBFC having about 100 branches is about to shift its registered office next street, within the same city for a temporary period for renovating the same. The period of operation in the new building may be less than a year.

Under these circumstances, is it necessary that the revised address should be incorporated in the letter heads at all branches? Instead, certainly one of the officials of the company will be available at the existing place to supervise renovation and he will be receiving all tapals, etc. Under these circumstances, would it be enough if no board resolution is passed for the change to a new place and hence no e form 18 need be filed. The statutory records may be arranged to be kept at the existing place itself.

Will it be OK?
