In accordance with the Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Act, 2019, and its corresponding rules, the appropriate authority for addressing your company's name change in Maharashtra would be the State Commissioner for Persons with Disabilities.

Please follow the steps below:

1. Prepare a formal letter stating the name change of your company. Ensure it is on your company's official letterhead.

2. Include relevant details of the name change, such as the old name, new name, and the reason for the change.

3. Attach supporting documents, such as a copy of the resolution passed by your company's Board of Directors (if applicable), and the updated Certificate of Incorporation issued by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs.

4. Send the letter and the supporting documents to the office of the State Commissioner for Persons with Disabilities, Maharashtra.

Please note that it's advisable to seek legal advice to ensure you have complied with all necessary formalities under the Transgender Persons Act and other applicable laws. Furthermore, the process might vary slightly based on the specific requirements of the State Commissioner's office. It's always a good idea to call and confirm the process before sending out your name change intimation.
