Introduction: DOI Name Change (उद्योगको नाम परिवर्तन)

Under the Industrial Enterprises Act, 2076, an industry’s name is its unique identifier for all state-provided facilities, including tax holidays and customs concessions. Whether your industry is rebranding for a new market or undergoing a corporate restructuring, a name change is a multi-layered legal event. Our service ensures that your Industrial Registration Certificate is officially amended to reflect your new name, protecting your legal standing and commercial reputation.

Legal Requirements: Compliance Under the Industrial Law

Pursuant to the section 16 of the Industrial Enterprises Act, 2076 and the Industrial Enterprises Regulation, 2078, any change in the name of the entity must be reported to the DOI. The primary prerequisite is the Amended Certificate of Incorporation and MOA/AOA from the Office of the Company Registrar (OCR). The industry must also provide a board resolution and a formal application to the DOI to update the “Integrated Register” to maintain DOI Compliance Nepal.

A name mismatch between your OCR records and your Industrial License creates a “legal ghost.” This discrepancy can lead to the rejection of Foreign Exchange (Satta) permits for importing raw materials and the freezing of export incentives. Furthermore, banks may suspend your account operations or refuse to honor Letters of Credit (LC) if the industrial identity is not consistently updated across all government portals.

Process: DOI Name Change (उद्योगको नाम परिवर्तन)

OCR Name Approval

Before approaching the DOI, the parent company’s name must be officially changed at the OCR. We assist in passing the special resolution and securing the “Name Change Certificate” from the Registrar.

Board Resolution & DOI Application

The industry’s board passes a formal minute approving the adoption of the new name for its industrial operations. We draft the formal application to the DOI Director General, ensuring all historical registration numbers are correctly referenced.

License Amendment

The original Industrial Registration Certificate must be submitted for endorsement. The DOI verifies the OCR updates and issues an amended certificate that reflects the new name while maintaining the industry’s original registration date and benefits.

Inter-Agency Synchronization

A name change at the DOI is not the final step. We facilitate the update of your name at the Inland Revenue Office (IRO) for your PAN/VAT certificate, the Customs Department for EXIM operations, and your commercial bank for updated signature cards.
