Confused About Company Name Change? Can HR Help with My Loan Application?

Dear sir, I joined a private company in February 2015 and have nine years of previous experience. After one month of joining, the company changed its name. My salary slip contains the new name, but the old name is still on my appointment letter. Meanwhile, I needed a personal loan, so I applied to a bank. The bank officials informed me that the company name differs in their database compared to my documents, which have the old name. They suggested that I should ask my HR to send a letter to the bank requesting the name change.

So, my concern is, can I ask my HR to send a letter to the concerned bank to update the company's name? Please advise.

Thank you.

Change of name procedure involves getting permission from the Registrar of Companies. Once that procedure is over and approved, the company will obviously have to inform the bank in writing along with the approval letter for making a change in the bank account as well.

Just talk to your HR and find out whether they have initiated the procedure for the change of name in the bank accounts as well.

Take a clarificatory letter from HR under the company seal about the change of name. Your appointment letter and the present name of the company differ. This can easily be resolved.
