Conversion of Private to Public - Alteration of MOA

[sachin sathyavrathan]

Dear sir,

Where a private company is converted into a public company by passing a Special Resolution at an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM), the name of the company is consequently altered by deleting the word "Private" from its name.

In such a case, is it mandatory to file Form MGT-14 for the alteration of the Memorandum of Association (including the e-MOA), or will the deletion of the word "Private" from the company's name be effected automatically by the Registrar of Companies (ROC) upon approval of the conversion?

Thanks in advance.
