29 September 2009 No your firm can not be registered with Registrar of firms. Company, Pvt Ltd, Limited, India, King, crown etc words are prohibited under the partnership act. Therefore the registrar will not allow such name to your firm.
However you can go for the Limited Liability Partnership firm and register your firm with Registrar of company.
