If you have filed Form 1A and it still shows "Assigned" after 18 days, here are some steps you can take:
1. **Check Processing Time:** Sometimes the allocation of name can take longer than expected due to various administrative processes. Check the usual processing time for name allocation in your jurisdiction. This information is often available on the website of the relevant authority or can be obtained by contacting them directly.
2. **Contact the Relevant Authority:** If the processing time has exceeded what is typically expected, consider contacting the authority where you filed Form 1A. This could be the Registrar of Companies (RoC) or another designated authority depending on your location. Contact details are usually available on their website.
3. **Follow Up:** Send an email or make a phone call to inquire about the status of your application. Provide them with the details such as the acknowledgment number, date of submission, and any other relevant information they may require.
4. **Professional Consultant:** If you have engaged a professional (like a Chartered Accountant or Company Secretary) to assist with the filing, they may also follow up on your behalf.
5. **Monitor Online Status:** Continue monitoring the online portal where you submitted Form 1A. Status updates such as "Assigned" may eventually change to "Approved" or another status indicating progress.
6. **Wait Patiently:** While waiting for a response, ensure all communication with the authorities is documented for future reference.
If there is any urgency or specific requirement related to the name allotment, clearly communicate that when following up with the authorities. They should be able to provide guidance on the next steps or any additional information needed to move forward with your application.
