If the applicant does not have any other business or entity with a similar name, it is generally not mandatory to attach a 'No Objection Certificate' (NOC) as referenced in Rule 8A(2) of the Companies (Incorporation) Rules, 2014 while filing the SPICe+ form, unless the proposed name falls under a specific scenario described in Rule 8A, such as conflict with trademarks, partnership, or prior usage by the applicant or associates.
Application of Rule 8A(2)
Rule 8A(2) focuses on undesirable names and typically requires NOC only if:
The proposed name is similar or identical to a name already in use by an applicant's other business (e.g., partnership, LLP, proprietorship), or
The proposed name matches a trademark registered or pending registration, in which case NOC from the trademark owner is needed.

Filing the SPICe+ Form
If the applicant does not have any similar name in their business operations, the NOC requirement does not apply.
In most cases, NOC is only attached if required by specific Rule 8A sub-clauses (such as those concerning existing businesses, trademarks, or names requiring approval).
Routine incorporation via the SPICe+ form does not require NOC unless one of these specific exceptions is triggered by the circumstances.

Applicants must ensure that the proposed company name does not fall under any of the Rule 8A undesirable name categories.
If uncertain, seeking professional advice or checking the MCA portal guidelines is advisable for compliance.
In short, if there is genuinely no other existing business with a similar name or trademark conflict, submission of NOC under Rule 8A(2) is not necessary with SPICe+ form for incorporation.
