Choksi Asia Limited Relocates Registered Office to Dadra & Nagar Haveli

Choksi Asia Limited is proceeding with a significant administrative move: relocating its registered office from Maharashtra to the Union Territory of Dadra and Nagar Haveli. This change follows shareholder approval and is now awaiting confirmation from the Central Government.

Office Relocation Underway

The company announced its plan to shift its registered office from its current Maharashtra location to the Union Territory of Dadra and Nagar Haveli. This key administrative step was approved by shareholders through a special resolution on February 12, 2026.

Following this shareholder consent, Choksi Asia Limited has submitted an application to the Central Government to confirm the relocation. Newspaper advertisements detailing the proposed change were published on March 28, 2026. The company's board had previously approved this relocation from Mumbai to Silvassa on January 9, 2026, subject to regulatory approvals.

Impact of Jurisdictional Shift

Moving the registered office means a change in the company's primary legal and regulatory jurisdiction. This can affect how the company complies with regulations and where official communications are directed. For Choksi Asia Limited, it marks a transition from state-level oversight in Maharashtra to the regulatory framework for Union Territories.

Company History & Previous Steps

Choksi Asia Limited was formerly known as Choksi Imaging Limited, changing its name on April 3, 2025. Earlier, an amalgamation of Choksi Asia Private Limited with Choksi Imaging Limited became effective on December 26, 2024. The Companies Act, 2013, allows companies to move their registered offices across state borders, provided all legal requirements are met.

Key Changes Following Relocation

Once confirmed, the company's official registered address will be in Dadra and Nagar Haveli. This shift may alter the specific local regulations the company follows, and all official correspondence will be sent to the new Union Territory address. The Memorandum of Association (MOA) may also require an update to reflect this jurisdictional change.

Potential Objections

Under the law, any individual whose interests might be affected by this proposed change has fourteen days from the March 28, 2026, publication date to raise objections. These objections could influence the Central Government's confirmation process.

Separately, Choksi Asia Limited recently settled a small fine of ₹5,900 for a minor delay in submitting a related party transaction. This matter is distinct from the current office relocation.

Industry Norms for Office Relocation

Companies typically relocate registered offices for reasons such as operational efficiency, market proximity, or to take advantage of specific regulatory environments. The relocation process itself is standardized under the Companies Act, 2013, for all listed companies.

Looking Ahead

Investors and stakeholders will monitor the company's progress in obtaining final confirmation from the Central Government. Key points to watch include any objections filed by interested parties before the deadline and subsequent announcements regarding the operational transition to the new address.
