Check Company/LLP Name on the MCA portal

Ministry of Corporate Affairs, Government of India · mca.gov.in Free Beginner India

If you plan to register in India, a free handle and a free domain still will not save you if the name is already a registered company. This is the official Ministry of Corporate Affairs search that tells you whether an identical or closely similar company or LLP name already exists, and the preliminary check needs no login. It is the one India-specific step the global tools skip.

  • The official government check for whether your name is already a registered company or LLP in India
  • Free and no login for the preliminary search: search the plain name without Private Limited or LLP so results stay clean
  • It confirms company-name uniqueness only, not trademarks, so also search the IP India portal before you settle
