Sure! When incorporating a Private Limited Company in India and using the same name as an existing proprietorship, the Registrar of Companies (ROC) requires a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the proprietor to ensure there’s no conflict.
Here’s a simple format of NOC you can use for this purpose:
Format of No Objection Certificate (NOC) for Using Proprietorship Name in Private Limited Company Incorporation [On Proprietorship Letterhead (if any)]
Date: ___________
To The Registrar of Companies [Address of ROC]
Subject: No Objection Certificate for using Proprietorship Name for Incorporation of Private Limited Company
Dear Sir/Madam,
I, [Full Name of Proprietor], proprietor of the proprietorship firm named [Name of Proprietorship Firm], hereby confirm and give my no objection for the use of the name "[Name of Proprietorship Firm]" for incorporation of the company in the form of [Proposed Name of Private Limited Company] under the Companies Act, 2013.
I understand that the proprietorship business will continue to exist independently even after the incorporation of the Private Limited Company.
I undertake that there will be no dispute or claim against the Private Limited Company on account of the use of the said name.
Kindly consider this as my consent for the purpose of name approval and incorporation formalities.
Thanking you.
Yours faithfully, (Signature of Proprietor) Name: Address: Contact No.:
