Hi Ruchi 

The e-form INC-22 mandates the certification by professional in case of companies other than OPC and Small Companies.

Hope this would help you!

Hi Ruchi

The eForm is required to be certified if check box 3 is selected in declaration except filing by OPC and Small Company by a chartered accountant (in whole-time practice) or cost accountant (in whole-time practice) or company secretary (in whole-time practice) by digitally signing the eForm. 

And Mandatory certified in other than OPC and Small. 

Yes, certification by a professional is mandatory for filing Form INC-22, which is the notice of situation or change of situation of the registered office of the company. The certification can be done by a chartered accountant, cost accountant, or company secretary in practice.

The professional certifies that they have verified and inspected the documents submitted in support of the change of registered office and that the company has complied with all the necessary legal requirements for such a change.

The certification is required to be provided in the format specified in Form INC-22 and must be signed and stamped by the professional. The signed and stamped form must be attached to the application for change of registered office and submitted to the Registrar of Companies (ROC).

It is important to note that failure to obtain certification by a professional can lead to the rejection of the application for change of registered office.
