“CRC” Name Reservation under Companies Act using “RUN” problems faced by Professionals
Dear Friends,
We are filing representation before the Ministry of Corporate Affairs on behalf of professional suffering from Rejection of Name by CRC.
I am Fellow member of the Institute of Company Secretaries of India and in Practice since 2010 . I myself had loss some big assignments and lost money due to rejections by the CRC .
We believe that the officer sittings in CRC are not corrupt, but there is some corruption due to which people are earning Rs 30,000/- to 50,000/- for name approval which in normal case would have been rejected by the CRC.
We are going to file a representation to the PMO office to the Ministry of Finance and Ministry of Corporate Affairs informing them the issues we professionals and entrepreneurs are facing to “Start Business”
We are requesting you to kindly share why your Company name or Company Incorporation was rejected so that we can compile it and file it with our representation.
Sharing some of Rejection stories:
Sr. No | Name | E Mail | Reason for Rejection | Reason for Rejection | |||
1 | Deepak Singhal | sdeepak.cs@gmail.com | The biggest Reason is NAME IS TOO GENERAL | And for TM atleast they should mention under which class it is registered, as earlier ROC gives clear remarks that this word is registered under this class | |||
2 | K. Sankara Subramanian | <shankartheacs5@gmail.com> | In our case, the promoter is holding a valid TM under class 14 and applied for incorporation with that TM Name. But the Form was marked for resubmission stating the name resembles with a TM under class 35. I think they are not even looking into the attachments or explanation letters. | ||||
3 | sweety kapoor | <sweetykapoor53@rediffmail.com> | so but my colleague did not get the first name approved through run and rs.1000/- gone later second name which had a simliar name got approved strange | ||||
4 | Sourabh Singhal | <cs.sourabh89@gmail.com> | Most common Reason
Name is Too General |
||||
5 | Durga Bansal | <bansal.durga14@gmail.com> | In my case, they rejected application 2 times for want of more documents and when third time we submitted the application with all the desired documents then they rejected saying the name is resembling with an existing company but the name given was totally different. | ||||
6 | Manoj Jain <jain.csmanoj@gmail.com> | my concern is why ROC cancel the SRN of INC for the change of name and ask for re-application through RUN and again rejected the application on the same grounds which was accepted earlier at the time of filing INC-1. they should migrate all the approves SRN applied through INC-1.what about the Companies who got the approval from Stock Exchanges and shareholders on the basis of earlier approval | In that case it seen name was approved through INC-1 but rejected in RUN | ||||
7 | Harshit Shah <cs.harshitshah@yahoo.com> | Name applied: _____ Capital Advisors Private Limited (Purely advisory activity does not need SEBI approval)
In-principle approval of concerned regulator is not provided as proposed name includes the word such as Insurance, Bank, Stock Exchange, Venture Capital, Asset Management, Nidhi, or Mutual Fund. Name is resembling /closely resembling Companies/LLP |

8 | Manisha Menon <advmanisha28@gmail.com> | Dear All,
I have till now tried four times to get one simple name for our Company. Everytime I am getting complaint that the name has been trademarked or the name remotely resembles to some other Company’s name. Again we have put for name approval. We are facing more difficulty because “RUN” does not have resubmission option. It only gets rejected and our Client’s loose money just like that. Its a very bad idea that MCA has brought. Its a loss of money for the clients. We do not mind paying stamp duty but name approval form should have resubmission option. Regards, |

9 | Gyaneshwar Sahai <gyaneshwar.sahai@gmail.com> | Name is resembling /closely resembling Companies/LLP | |||||
10 | Aarti Bhasin | <aartibhasin0203@gmail.com> | I faced the reason that the name is too generic (which was not the case as the same was available when I checked under “name availability” on MCA services). I find it totally unjustifiable. | ||||
11 | Taruna Kalra <taruna.cs@gmail.com> | 1. they are not checking attachments properly. in hurry, they sent form in re-submission, without checking that attachments are already there | |||||
12 | Mittal Shah <consultmittal@gmail.com> | We have filed name approval application under RUN on MCA portal SRN G75638643 on 3 February 2018 for “LIFESTYLE CLUB AND LESIURE PRIVATE LIMITED” which is rejected by CRC on 6 February 2018 on the basis that vide – Name is resembling /closely resembling Companies/LLP. The rejection letter stated that Proposed name is closely resemble with existing/reserved Company(s)/LLP(s) ‘LIFESTYLE CLUBOTELS PRIVATE LIMITED’ , ‘LIFESTYLE LEISURES PRIVATE LIMITED’ and many others. Hence, it is not considerable as per the provisions of Sec 4(2) of Cos Act-2013 r.w. ,Companies (INC) Rules, 2014.
Therefore, we again filed another application for name on 6 February 2018 itself as the client eagerly wants to form a company vide SRN G75901363 after checking availability of the desired name on the portal. Accordingly we applied for a modified new name “RC LIFESTYLE CLUB AND LEISURE PRIVATE LIMITED” which was also rejected again after waiting for two days on the similar grounds. Proposed name is nearly resembling with the names of the existing/reserved company/LLP ” RC LEISURE PRIVATE LIMITED”. Hence, not considerable as per the provisions of section 4(2) of the Companies Act -2013. Proposed name with “RC” is a TM under Class 36, Hence not considerable in view of provisions of rule 8(2) (a) (ii) of Companies (Inc.) Rules, 2014. hence the form is rejected. We have also raised ticket for service complaint on MCA portal asking for possible solution as the client is in urgency to form a company and start a deal, the government on the public communication as well as on MCA portal saying that now incorporation of a company is “zero fee”, and “starting a business much easier” but we did not find any solution from the compliant that we raised also, two names were rejected causing delay of almost 5 days and still we are back in the same position. Government should either provide some window to check name from all angles by the customer only else provide few name options while applying so alternative names can be approved at least and business can be started without LOSING TIME AND MONEY. MCA tickets only give caveated answers, there is no solution provided. We need alternative solution on name approval as we do not see any similarity in this class of proposed business. If both these names are not available we wish to continue with “LIFESTYLE LIVING CONCEPTS PRIVATE LIMITED” , we have LLP reserved with the same name. this is a draft email summarizing our complaints with CRC. |

17 | Anu Pasrija <anupasrija@gmail.com> | Hi
I am not understanding the basic idea of bringing this RUN feature into picture . It is not doing any ease of business .So much exercise needs to be done while applying for the name which is actually very time consuming Over that CRC is taking almost 2-3 days for approval rather rejection I must say which is making us speechless before the Clients . We cannot quote exact fees to the client because we dont know how many attempts it would take for name approval . Incorporation has really become a tough assignment to take up |

MCA Updates 6th January 2018
CONDONATION OF DELAY SCHEME 2018”
MCA Updates 6th January 2018
- New Name Reservation Service
Discontinuation of E-form INC-1
MCA is proactively designing a Front Office service (replacing INC-1 eform with Web-Form) for Name Reservation and Change of Name for companies capturing only absolutely essential information from the applicants. The said service is likely to be rolled out on 26th January 2018
Therefore w.e.f. 00:00 hours on 06-01-2018, INC-1 will not be available on the MCA Portal. Stakeholders are advised to submit INC-1 application till 23:59 hours of 05-01-2018. Stakeholders who reserved names using INC-1 are requested to use SPICe for incorporation immediately. However, resubmission of INC-1 is allowed till 23:59 hours of 11-01-2018.
- Discontinuation of INC-7 (Application for Incorporation of Company (Part I Company and Company with more than Seven Subscribers)
INC-7 form is likely to be discontinued w.e.f 10.01.2018 in case the name reserved using INC-1 is to be used for incorporation through SPICe form, users should file the form latest by 17.01.2018. It is requested that SPICe should be filed with due care as it will be allowed only one resubmission which has to be completed latest by 25.01.2018. Stakeholders may plan accordingly
- Modification in E-form DIR-3 (Application for Director Identification Number)
It is proposed to reengineer the process of allotment of DIN by allotting DIN to individuals only at the time of their appointment as Directors (If they do NOT possess a DIN) in companies.
DIR-3 (Application for Director Identification Number) would be applicable for the allotment of DIN to individuals in respect of existing companies only and shall be filed by the existing company in which the proposed Director is to be appointed.
Further, DINs to the proposed first Directors in respect of new companies would be mandatorily required to be applied for in SPICe forms (subject to a ceiling of 3 new DINs) only.
It is also proposed to modify DIR-3 to permit allotment of upto 2 new DINs (since SPICe provides for upto 3 new DINs) only in respect of ‘Producer Companies’. A separate notification would be issued for the same and stakeholders may plan accordingly.
Thanking you
