Common Mistakes to Avoid
Most incorporation delays come from small, avoidable errors. Checking these before you apply can save days.
- Choosing a name without a trademark check – MCA may approve a name that later clashes with a registered trademark, forcing a costly change.
- Mismatched personal details – Names, dates of birth or addresses that differ between PAN, Aadhaar and other proofs lead to resubmission.
- Old or unclear address proof – Utility bills older than two months or unreadable scans are among the most common reasons for objections.
- A vague object clause – Objects that are too narrow can block future activities; objects that are too broad can raise bank queries.
- No NOC from the property owner – A registered office without the owner’s no-objection certificate is a frequent cause of rejection.
