What the manual covers
The Firm Registration: Alteration in Name or Location of the Firm: Citizen’s Portal User Manual is guidance from the Inspector General of Registration and Stamps for firms using the Citizen’s Portal. It explains the online application process for changing a registered firm’s name, location or both.
The manual is relevant to a registered firm, or a person presenting an application for the firm, when its name or registered office address needs to be updated in the registration records.
Starting an application
The Citizen’s Portal process begins by logging in with a username and password. The applicant must then:
- Select Registration.
- Select Firm Registration.
- Choose Alteration in Name or Location of the Firm.
The portal automatically fills in the firm’s registration number, existing firm name, date of registration and registered office address.
Information that can be changed
For a name change, the applicant enters the new firm name and the effective date of the change.
For a location change, the applicant selects the option to change the firm location and provides the revised address. The required steps include:
- Selecting the country, state, district, taluk and village from the available lists.
- Entering the door number, street, other address information and pincode.
- Entering contact information, including cell number, landline number and email.
- Selecting the effective date of the change.
- Updating the record and checking the revised address details.
Documents, submission and payment
The Citizen’s Portal requires the applicant to enter a document name, choose a file, upload it and add it to the application. Uploaded entries can be edited or deleted through the action options.
Before submission, the applicant selects a name in the Presented By field, views the fee details and submits the application. After successful submission, the portal provides an application number for future reference. The applicant may select Pay to pay the displayed fee or select Done.
The manual also shows that the applicant name and office name are selected from lists, after which the applicant and address details are filled automatically. Its listed screens cover electronic payment, online confirmation, terms and conditions, acknowledgement generation, printing the acknowledgement, printing Form II and viewing the request list.
