Last updated: Oct 21, 2026, 17:46 (UTC+08:00)

Through Part A of the SPICe+ form on the MCA portal. The Registrar checks the name against existing companies and trademarks, and an approved name is held for a short period while the incorporation filing follows (confirm the current period with your specialist). A private company name ends with “Private Limited”.
