How to Check Company Name Availability on MCA
Before registering a company in India, you must ensure your desired name is available and compliant with MCA (Ministry of Corporate Affairs) naming guidelines. Our tool checks your name against 8 key criteria including restricted words, character limits, and uniqueness requirements.
MCA Naming Guidelines
- Uniqueness: Name must not be identical or deceptively similar to any existing company
- No Restricted Words: Words like "India", "National", "Bank" require government approval
- Length: Maximum 56 characters including spaces
- No Offensive Words: Vulgar, obscene, or offensive words are prohibited
- Distinctiveness: Name should not be too generic (e.g., just "Services Private Limited")
Name Reservation Process (RUN)
To officially reserve your company name, file RUN (Reserve Unique Name) form on the MCA portal. You can propose 2 names, and MCA approves within 3-5 working days. The reservation is valid for 20 days. Alternatively, use SPICe+ Part A which combines name reservation with incorporation.
