According to me do not make M/s a part of company name in ROC record as it's look a bit strange. However you may use it otherwise. There is no prohibition in law. For Example M/s Reliance Industries Limited.

However other views solicited.

Yes, Never Seen Before M/s Company Name.......

Its Look Strange........

From My Happy Side, M/s Should Not Be Used, It Used For Firms & Concerns....

& Not Discussed in Act Too About This Issue........

Dear All,

In day to day practise related to correspondence with Government authority,the word 'M/s' is used generally.I don't forsee any legal back up which mandate that the word M/s should be used with the Company name.If some body has idea what is the significane for using such prefix then please also let us know.

Regards

Yes...!!!

I have also the same opinion regarding the use of word "M/S" ...

I must not be used for ROC workings... But what if M/s is written on all printed share certificates?

I think that it is not required to reprint all the share cerificate..

Even I wanna suggest to all to avoid using the word M/s...
