ROC COLUMN One more challenge has been placed before the Professionals with the introduction of STP (Straight Through Process) for obtaining availability of names pursuant to Section 20 of the Companies Act, 1956. This initiative of the Ministry of Corporate Affairs is aimed at expediting the process of incorporation of companies. This is sought to be achieved by placing greater responsibility upon the Professionals. Gradually the back office processing procedure is being reduced by shifting the task to the professionals instead of designated officers in the back office of the Registrar of Companies. The new Name Guidelines announced on 8th July 2011 provides that the name for a proposed company will be instantly available if the application in Form-1A is certified by a Practicing Company Secretary or a Practicing Chartered Accountant or a Practicing Cost and Works Accountant. It is earnestly expected that the professionals will accept the challenge and facilitate speedy Incorporation of Companies which would be comparable to any other developed Country.

The new Name Guidelines expect professionals to bear in mind the following important aspects while certifying Form-1A for availability of name :–

â The name applied for should not be “undesirable”. This word used in Section 20 of the Companies Act, 1956 has very wide import. The name should not be undesirable in every aspect including sentiment of specific ethnic group.

â The name applied for should not violate the provisions of “Emblems and Names (Prevention of Improper Use) Act, 1950. This Act seeks to protect certain emblems and names which are of national interest. The schedule attached to Act gives the details of names and emblems which should not be used by anyone, such as, Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, Indira Gandhi, Sri Satyasai, UNO, WHO etc.,

â The name applied for should not resemble a Registered Trade Mark or a Trade Mark which is subject of an application for registration under the Trade Marks Act, 1999.

â In this regard, the professional will be required to visit the website of Registrar of Trade Mark to ascertain the trade marks which are registered as well as the applications which are pending. This exercise needs to be done diligently to avoid any litigation after incorporation of the company. Keeping in view the large inflow of FDI, it would also be appropriate to take into account the brands of Multinational companies.

â The application for availability of name should also be strictly in compliance with nine guidelines notified through the Circular No. 45/2011 issued by MCA. The thrust of the circular is upon the following areas :–

(i) Similar Names

(ii) Generic Names

(iii) Abbreviated Names

(iv) Special Names, such as, Insurance, Bank, NBFC, State etc.,

(v) Uptodate compliance

â The Guideline relating to similar names are as many as Eleven. This signifies the importance of avoiding similar names viz-a-viz existing companies or LLP. These guidelines are more or less similar to the earlier guidelines in force prior to July 2011. No one shall apply for generic name. If the name applied contains only the activity without key word, it is construed as generic name. It is interesting to note that the new name guidelines has done away with the capital requirement with reference to certain words used in the name, such as, India, Industry, Enterprise, Incorporation, Globe etc., This is a significant step towards liberalization. However, it should be borne in mind that the capital requirement with specific reference to NBFC, Insurance, Venture Capital Fund etc., should continue to be complied. For e.g. in the case of Non-Banking Financial Companies, the authorized capital requirement of Rs. 2 crores should be complied. Similarly, in the case of companies incorporated pursuant to Part IX of the Companies Act, the existing authorized capital should be equal or more than the existing capital of the partnership firm.

â The name search facility presently available in Back Office of ROC has also been made available to the Front Office Portal. Six options are available for similar name verification by using appropriate key word and activity. For e.g. if the name applied for is ‘Laxmi Mills Limited’, the key word to be used should be “Sri Lax”, “Shree Lax”, “Sree Lax” with activity “Mills”. As per Guidelines No. 3, the search report should be attached to the e-form.

The objective of new name guidelines is to expedite the process of incorporation of company which can be achieved only when the Professionals accept the challenge and ensure perfect compliance mentioned above while certifying the e-form 1A for availability of name. The Ministry of Corporate Affairs has also highlighted the consequences of incorrect certification of Form-1A, if the requirements stipulated by the Ministry are disregarded. This would include invoking the relevant penal provisions of the Companies Act 1956, apart from initiating disciplinary proceedings under the relevant regulations administered by the professional body.
