SPICe+ Part A – Name Reservation

SPICe+ Part A is the name-reservation step for a new company on the MCA portal. We check name availability against the naming guidelines and reserve your company name as the first step towards incorporation.

Reserve Your Name

What is SPICe+ Part A?

SPICe+ is the MCA's integrated form for incorporating a company. It has two parts: Part A reserves the company name, and Part B completes incorporation, including DIN, PAN, TAN, and other registrations. Part A can be filed on its own to reserve a name, or together with Part B.

Reserving a name is the starting point of our incorporation services. For an existing company changing its name, the RUN service is used instead.

How Name Reservation Works

You propose a name along with the company's main activity, and the system and the Registrar check it against existing company and LLP names and against registered trademarks. If a name is queried, it can be resubmitted with changes.

Once approved, the name is reserved for a set period within which the company must be incorporated.

Who Needs Name Reservation?

Founders incorporating a new company.
Promoters securing a brand name for a new entity.
Businesses planning to set up a new company.
Startups preparing for incorporation.
Foreign investors setting up an Indian subsidiary.
