Private Limited Company Name Reservation (SPICe+ Part A)
Company Name Reservation is the critical first step in incorporating a Private Limited Company. Done through SPICe+ Part A on the MCA portal, it reserves your chosen company name for 20 days while you prepare the full incorporation application and gather all required documents.
About Name Reservation
