Steps

  2. Pass only the resolution that route requires.
  3. File INC-22 within 30 days of the change, and only after INC-23 where the route needs the Regional Director.

Questions

Does Bengaluru use a different form from Mumbai?
No. INC-22 is the same form. A move from Mumbai to Pune changes the Registrar, so the Regional Director confirms it before INC-22. A move inside Bengaluru does not.
