Extension of Name Reservation Application

All you should know

 Company / LLP Name Reservation   

When you plan to start a company or LLP, choosing the right name is the first and most important step. Once you finalize a name, it must be reserved on the MCA portal to prevent others from using it. Applying for Name Reservation is the initial step toward your business incorporation.

The application is made under Part A of the SPICe+ Form on the MCA portal. After approval, the name is reserved for 20 days in case of a company and 60 days for an LLP. Within this period, you must file for incorporation and submit all required documents.

If the incorporation is not completed within the validity period, the reserved name will expire, and a new name application must be filed along with the prescribed government fee.

 Extension of Name Reservation Period   

Under Rule 9A of the Companies (Incorporation) Rules, 2014, as notified in the Companies (Incorporation) Third Amendment Rules, 2020, the MCA allows an extension of the reserved company name period up to 60 days from the approval date. This can be done by filing an application online through the SPICe+ web service available on www.mca.gov.in.

This provision ensures that businesses get sufficient time to complete incorporation without losing their reserved name.

    I had a very complicated LLP striking off requirement. It took a long time due to Government (MCA) delays. Through out the period EbizFiling continued to support me and successfully completed the assignment. Truly stellar service, and I particularly want to thank Aman for his support. Will continue to do business with them.

    I had already missed the ITR date until I came across their Facebook post which reminded me of the same. I simply contacted them and they did it all.
