16 February 2017 Inc-1 is almost done away. Now Inc 32 is for approval cum registration.

03 August 2025 Got it! You want to know about **ROC name approval validity, reserving a company name after filing INC-1, and what happens if the name approval expires**.

---

### Key points on ROC name approval and reservation:

1. **Name approval (under old process INC-1):**

* Name approval is valid for **60 days** from the date of approval.
* You need to **complete further registration formalities within these 60 days**.
* If you don’t file incorporation forms (like INC-7, INC-32, etc.) within this period, the name approval **expires**.

2. **Is there a process to extend or reserve the same name after expiry?**

* **Currently, there is no formal process to extend or reserve the same name beyond 60 days.**
* If the name approval expires, you need to apply for name approval again through SPICe (INC-32) or the relevant form.

3. **What if you want the same name after expiry?**

* You can reapply for the **same name**, but it is subject to availability at that time.
* You may need to provide supporting documents or reasons if the ROC asks why you want the same name again.
* However, there is **no guarantee** that the name will be available at that time.

4. **Current process (after INC-1):**

* The **SPICe form (INC-32)** is now the integrated form for name approval and company incorporation.
* INC-1 is mostly obsolete, but if you have a name approval via INC-1, you can file INC-32 within 60 days.

### To summarize:

| Scenario | Action Required |
| -------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------- |
| Name approval valid (within 60 days) | File incorporation forms (e.g., INC-32) |
| Name approval expired | Reapply for name approval via SPICe (INC-32) |
| Want to reserve same name after expiry | No official extension/reservation; reapply |

---

### Practical tip:

If you are close to expiry and need more time, file incorporation as soon as possible to avoid losing the name.
