The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) today announced that the Form INC-1 for which no incorporation forms were filed before 17th January has been expired. The Government further advised the stakeholders to use either RUN or SPICe Form for the said purpose.

“All names which were reserved through the INC-1 form for which no incorporation forms were filed before 17th January, have now been expired, as per the notice posted earlier on this portal, and cannot be used for incorporation anymore. Stakeholders are advised to use either RUN service for reserving a name afresh or use SPICe form for the integrated process of name reservation and incorporation of a company,” the Ministry said.

Till now, an applicant seeking reservation of the name for a proposed company or an existing company seeking to change its name shall make an application to Registrar in which the registered office of the company is situated or to be situated could apply for reservation of name by filing eForm INC-1.

On the occasion of Republic day, the Government has launched “RUN – Reserve Unique Name” Web service for name reservation.

The Simplified Proforma for Incorporating Company Electronically (SPICe) which delivers five services by two different Ministries through a single form filed on the MCA21 Portal was also launched recently.
