can two different companies(abc marketings pvt ltd and abc pharma pvt ltd)have the same name.both of them are registered under the same ROC but in different states. ABC marketings was registered in 2009 and also has applied for trademark of ABC and abc pharma is registered in 2011.
There cannot be two(2) company with same name. Regn. in different states does not have any sense according to me as a company regd. in one state can be move to another state.
Furhter ROC approved only one name which is not matchable with any other.
If this is allowed any one can create company in there states like: Wipro, TCS, bla bla bala....

Theoretically not possible. Name of two companies can not be identical. Now a days even similar names are not granted. But practically quite a few times i have seen in Company Master Data, two companies with identical names.
