What Are Name Availability Guidelines?
Name Availability Guidelines are the rules and criteria established by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) to ensure that business names:
Are Unique: The name should not closely resemble existing companies or trademarks.
Reflect Business Activities: The name must indicate the company’s main objectives.
Comply with Legal Standards: The name should not include restricted or prohibited words.

Key Rules for Name Availability:
Uniqueness: The proposed name must be distinct and should not cause confusion with existing company names or trademarks.
Relevance: The name should reflect the company’s primary business activities.
