BRAND REGISTRATION

Selection of Name of the Company and Getting Name Availability from ROC

Make an application to the concerned Registrar of Companies in Form No. 1 A as prescribed in the Companies· (Central Government's) General Rules and Forms, for the purpose and also pay the prescribed application fee of RS.500/- along with the application.

Select at least four names. The names of the proposed company are to be given in Form No. 1 A in order of the promoters' preference so that if the first name is not available, the Registrar may consider the second name and even if the second name is not available, the Registrar may consider the third name and the fourth name, so that time in referring back and forth, may be saved. The proposed names should not be identical with, or too closely resemble, the names by which a company in existence has been previously registered.

Before selecting the names, the promoters may be well advised to refer to the guiding instructions prescribed by the Department of Company Affairs for making a name available for registration (Guiding Principles dated 5.5.1962 and 27.9.1974 as amended from time to time and further amended by guidelines for availability of name dated 13.5.99). It must also be ensured that the proposed names do not violate the provisions of Emblems and Names (Prevention of Improper Use) Act, 1950.
