Timeline 3–6 Months
The entire interstate shift process typically takes 3–6 months — plan ahead for operational continuity.
The interstate shift requires Regional Director approval — it cannot be done by filing with the ROC alone. The process involves multiple sequential steps and publication requirements. Missing any step — especially INC-28 within 30 days of the RD order — can void the approval.
