SPICe+ Part A — Reserve Name secure your company name before you incorporate.
SPICe+ Part A name reservation services in Mumbai and across India — name availability search, drafting of name proposals, and filing of SPICe+ Part A to reserve the name for your new company.
SPICe+ is the integrated web form through which companies are incorporated in India, and it has two parts. Part A is the name reservation stage — it is where a proposed company name is checked and reserved — and Part B covers the actual incorporation. Part A can be filed on its own to lock in a name first, or together with Part B as a single combined application.
Getting Part A right matters because the name is the foundation of the incorporation. A proposed name must be distinctive, must not be identical or too similar to an existing company or LLP, must not conflict with a registered trademark, and must comply with the naming rules — including the rules on restricted and undesirable words. A name rejected at Part A delays the whole incorporation.
Our SPICe+ Part A practice handles the name reservation stage end to end — a thorough availability search against the MCA database and trademark records, drafting of name proposals that comply with the naming rules, filing of SPICe+ Part A, and resubmission with revised proposals if required. We reserve the name so the incorporation can proceed cleanly into Part B.
