Documents Required for Name Reservation

While reserving a name through Part A of SPICe+, attaching documents is optional. However, it becomes mandatory to include relevant documents in certain instances, such as specific cases like-

• In the case where regulatory approvals are required:
  A name reservation often requires approval from the regulatory authorities when it incorporates specific terms such as 'Bank,' 'Insurance,' 'Banking,' 'Venture Capital,’ 'mutual fund’ or similar expressions. 
  While not mandatory for all cases, the attachment of relevant documents and No Objection Certificates (NOCs) becomes a requirement in Part A of SPICe+ under specific circumstances where regulatory approval or specific clearances are applicable.
• In the case of incorporating a subsidiary of a foreign company:
  Attaching a certified copy of the Board Resolution is a mandatory step. A No Objection Certificate (NOC) is also required for this process. The NOC, duly signed by the Authorized Representative, signifies the consent and approval of the foreign company for establishing the subsidiary.
  

Company Name Search

Selecting the right company name and conducting a thorough name search are critical steps before submitting the Part A form to initiate the Company Registration process.

The Ministry of Corporate Affairs has established clear guidelines that must be followed to meet regulatory standards. Some of these include:
