Company Name Checker Test Your Name Against MCA Rules.

Most name rejections are avoidable. Test your proposed name against the MCA's naming rules before you apply.

This checks naming rules only. It doesn't search the MCA or trademark registers — we do that for you before filing.

Checks

Type a name to see how it measures up against MCA naming rules.

The name must not be identical or too similar to an existing company, LLP or registered trademark.
Private companies end with “Private Limited”, OPCs with “(OPC) Private Limited” and LLPs with “LLP”.
Words like Bank, Insurance, Mutual Fund, National or Board need regulator or government approval.
Plurals, spelling changes, added punctuation or a change of tense don't make a name different.
Purely generic names made only of words like “Solutions” or “Services” aren't distinctive enough.

Combine a unique coined word with a word describing your activity — e.g. “Zorvex Logistics”.
Make sure the activity word matches the main object in your MoA.
Check trademarks too: a name that conflicts with a registered mark can be challenged later.
