Dear Deepti & Sneha,
As per General Circular No. 45/2011 (Name availability Guidelines); use of certain words for minimum authorised capital has been done away with as the said circular heading reads as
"In supercession of all the previous circulars and instructions issued by Ministry of Corporate Affairs from time to time regarding name availability, the applicants and Registrar of Companies are advised to adhere following guidelines while applying or approving a name."
The above circular does not speak about the need of minimum authoried capital for certain words.
So going by the above circular you can very well incorporate a company with Rs. 1 lakh auth capital irrespective of words used. (be it CORPORATION or INDIA or any other words).
