Incorporation & Change · Panaji, Goa
Smooth conversion of your company in Goa via Form INC-27 — private to public, public to private, or other class changes — handled through the special resolution, altered articles and ROC filing, with Regional Director approval where the law requires it.
Overview
A company can change its class — most commonly private to public (to raise wider capital) or public to private (to simplify governance) — and the conversion is filed with the ROC in Form INC-27. It requires a special resolution, alteration of the articles, and compliance with the rules for the new class.
A conversion from public to private additionally requires Regional Director approval, while private to public is comparatively simpler but brings the heavier compliance of a public company. We assess the implications, pass the resolution, amend the constitution and file INC-27 — guiding the move between a private and a public company.

Frequently asked questions
Form INC-27 is the application filed with the ROC to convert a company from one class to another — for example from private to public or public to private. The conversion changes the company's legal character and the rules that apply to it, and INC-27 records the change.
Companies convert from private to public usually to raise capital more widely, admit more shareholders, or prepare for a listing, since a public company can offer shares to the public. The trade-off is heavier compliance and governance, which we help you weigh and manage.
A public company may convert to private to simplify its governance, reduce compliance, and consolidate ownership, particularly where it does not need public capital. This conversion requires Regional Director approval, which we obtain as part of the process.
A conversion requires a special resolution of the members and alteration of the articles, filed with the ROC. A public-to-private conversion additionally needs Regional Director approval, whereas private-to-public does not need that approval but brings public-company obligations. We handle the applicable route.
No. Conversion changes the company's class and the rules that apply, but the company remains the same legal entity with the same CIN, and its assets, liabilities and contracts continue. However, its name suffix and compliance obligations change, which we align.
After converting, the company must follow the compliance regime of its new class — for example, a newly public company faces stricter requirements on directors, meetings and disclosures, while a newly private company can use the relaxations available to private companies. We realign your compliance accordingly.
