SPICe+ Part A Form – Reserve Name for New Company Incorporation
The SPICe+ (Simplified Proforma for Incorporating Company Electronically Plus) is an integrated web form introduced by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs for the incorporation of companies in India. SPICe+ Part A is the first step in this process and is used to reserve the proposed name of a new company before proceeding with company incorporation.
Through SPICe+ Part A, applicants can submit proposed company names to the Registrar of Companies for approval. The proposed name must comply with the naming guidelines prescribed under the **Companies Act, 2013 and the Companies (Incorporation) Rules. The Registrar verifies that the name is unique, not identical or similar to existing companies or trademarks, and does not violate any regulatory restrictions.
Once the name is approved, the applicant can proceed with SPICe+ Part B, which includes the submission of company incorporation details such as directors, shareholders, registered office, and other statutory information.
Reserving a suitable and compliant company name is an important step because it establishes the legal identity of the company and prevents conflicts with existing registered names.
