This happens quite often — even if a name looks unique to us, MCA has strict rules on similarity and can reject names if they are “too close” to existing ones.
Here’s what you can do to handle the rejection for “Krishnas Software Technologies Private Limited”:
Why was the name rejected?
MCA examines similarity in words, pronunciation, and overall impression.
Even if exact name isn’t taken, a name like “Krishnas Software Solutions Pvt Ltd” or “Krishna Software Tech Pvt Ltd” can cause rejection.
MCA wants to avoid confusion among companies.
Solutions / Suggestions:
Modify the name slightly to make it distinct:
Change “Krishnas” to “Krishna’s” or “Krishna Tech” or “KrishnaSoft”
Use a unique word or abbreviation in the middle or end (e.g., “Krishna Nova Software Technologies Pvt Ltd”)
Add a geographical or founder’s name element if appropriate.
Check availability again carefully:
Use MCA’s ‘Similar sounding name’ feature or online search tools to identify close matches.
Apply for name approval again with a fresh, distinctive name using Form INC-1 (previously Form 1A).
If client insists on original name:
MCA generally rejects without appeal unless client can prove uniqueness or trademark rights.
Check if a trademark for the name exists — sometimes, getting a trademark registration can help in name disputes.
Tips:
Keep the name short, simple, and unique.
Avoid commonly used words or terms that others use.
Check similar names carefully before applying.
