How to Check Company Name Availability in India — MCA RUN Process
Before incorporating any company in India, the proposed name must pass MCA's RUN (Reserve Unique Name) check. A rejection costs ₹1,000 and 2–3 business days — and you only get 2 resubmissions. Our free tool above searches the live MCA database and shows all conflicting names plus an approval probability score.
MCA Naming Rules You Must Know
- No identical or deceptively similar names — even phonetically similar or abbreviated versions count.
- Restricted words need prior approvals — "Bank", "Insurance", "SEBI", "RBI" require regulatory clearance before RUN.
- Suffix must match structure — Pvt Ltd → "Private Limited", LLP → "LLP", OPC → "OPC Private Limited".
- Generic names are increasingly rejected — coined, distinctive words have the highest approval rates.
- Check trademarks separately — MCA doesn't check IP India; a registered TM holder can challenge post-incorporation. Free trademark search →
How to Read MCA Master Data — Field by Field
Company Status
Active — good standing, legally operational. Strike Off — removed from register under Section 248 for non-filing; directors disqualified for 5 years under Section 164(2). Under CIRP — insolvency under IBC 2016; an IP controls the company.
Open Charges
Charges are secured loans registered on MCA via CHG-1. Open (unsatisfied) charges may mean the loan is still outstanding, or CHG-4 (satisfaction) was never filed. Either matters in due diligence. TAXAJ files CHG-4 →
Last AGM & Balance Sheet Date
Companies must file MGT-7 and AOC-4 within 60 and 30 days of AGM respectively. More than 14–15 months old signals non-compliance and potential director disqualification. TAXAJ handles annual filing →

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I check if a company name is available in India?
Use "Starting a Company?" mode above. Type your proposed name — results appear live after 3 characters with an approval probability. Under 3 similar names = High. 9–10 matches = Low. Our tool uses the same MCA database ROC officers search.
What is a CIN number and how do I find it?
CIN (Corporate Identification Number) is a 21-character code assigned at incorporation. Switch to "Verifying a Company?" mode and search by name or PAN — the CIN and full profile appear instantly.
What are open charges on MCA and should I be worried?
Open charges mean a secured loan is registered but not yet satisfied at MCA. May mean loan is outstanding (lender has first claim on assets) or CHG-4 was never filed. Always check before acquiring or extending credit. TAXAJ files CHG-4 →
How long does company registration take in India?
7–10 working days: DSC (1–2 days) → RUN name reservation (2–3 days) → SPICe+ + Certificate of Incorporation (2–4 days). TAXAJ handles everything including DSC, DIN, MOA/AOA drafting, PAN, TAN, and GST setup. Start registration →
What is Director KYC (DIR-3) and why does it matter?
DIR-3 KYC is an annual filing that keeps a director's DIN active. Deadline is 30 September every year. Missing it deactivates the DIN and costs ₹5,000 to restore. File DIR-3 KYC with TAXAJ →
