Company Name Registration

About Our Service  

What is Company Name Registration in India?  

Company name registration in India is the first legal step in forming any business entity. It is the process of reserving a unique, valid, and government-approved name through the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA). This name becomes your business identity in all future filings, licenses, and registrations.

You can apply for name registration using either the RUN (Reserve Unique Name) service or the SPICe+ Form available on the MCA portal. The chosen name must follow the guidelines under the Companies Act, 2013, which means it should not be identical to an existing company, contain offensive words, or mislead the public about the nature of your business.

The approval of a company name gives you the exclusive right to use that name for your business. Once approved, the name is valid for 20 days if you are starting a new company and 60 days if an existing company is changing its name. During this period, you can proceed with incorporation or modify your existing company details.

Choosing the right name is crucial because it reflects your brand, business activity, and credibility. A well-selected name helps build trust with clients, investors, and customers while ensuring your brand stands out in a competitive market.

FAQs

FAQs on Company Name Registration in India  

Get answers to all your queries

  • What is company name registration in India?

    It is the process of reserving a unique and legal name for your business with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) before starting company incorporation. It gives your business its official identity.

  • Why is name approval important?

    Without a valid name approval, you cannot move ahead with company registration. The name must be approved first so that the Registrar of Companies can identify your business entity.

  • How do I apply for a company name?

    You can apply online using the RUN (Reserve Unique Name) service or through the SPICe+ form available on the MCA website. Ebizfiling assists you with both methods.

  • Can two companies have similar names?

    No. The MCA will reject any name that is identical or confusingly similar to an existing registered business or trademark in India.

  • How long does it take for MCA to approve a name?

    Normally, name approval takes 1–2 working days if all details meet MCA naming rules. With Ebizfiling’s pre-verification, approvals are even faster.

  • How many name options can I submit?

    You can submit two name choices in the RUN form. Our experts help you craft names that are creative yet compliant to improve your chances of approval.

  • What are the key rules for company name approval?

    The name must reflect your business activity, avoid restricted or offensive words, and not resemble any government or trademarked name.

  • Can I reserve a company name without a DSC?

    Yes. A Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) is not required for the RUN form but is mandatory for filing incorporation through SPICe+.

  • How long is the approved name valid?

    For new companies, the approval is valid for 20 days. For existing companies applying for a name change, the validity is 60 days.

  • Can I change my company name later?

    Yes. Once incorporated, you can apply to change the name anytime by filing the required forms and getting MCA approval.

  • What happens if MCA rejects my name application?

    If the proposed name violates any rule or conflicts with an existing entity, it will be rejected. Ebizfiling helps you modify and reapply quickly.

  • Can a foreigner or NRI reserve a company name in India?

    Yes. Foreign nationals or NRIs can register a company name in India by providing valid identity and address proof documents.

  • What is the government fee for name reservation?

    The MCA fee for name reservation through RUN is ₹1,000. Professional charges for documentation and expert review may vary.

  • Can I use a trademarked name for my company?

    No. If the name is already registered as a trademark, MCA will not approve it unless you have the owner’s consent letter.

  • Is company name registration the same as trademark registration?

    No. Company name registration gives legal recognition under the Companies Act, while a trademark protects your brand identity under IP law.

  • Can I use a different brand name after registering the company?

    Yes. You can operate under a separate brand name, provided it is not misleading or already trademarked by someone else.

  • Can I check name availability before applying?

    Yes. You can check on the MCA portal or let Ebizfiling conduct a detailed name and trademark search before submission.

  • What if my company has multiple business activities?

    You can select a neutral or broader name that covers all proposed activities. Our team guides you in choosing a flexible and compliant name.

  • How does Ebizfiling help in company name registration?
