I receive a question on Quora which may interest readers of this Blog. The question is –
Doing Business As (DBA) name for a Private Limited company in India?
Typically in US, we can have a company registered name as JP Morgan Chase Limited and they have a DBA as Chase which is very business friendly name. Can I have similar DBA name for a Private Limited Company in India?

What is in name? Everyone had said it sometimes in life. Here, I am discussing what is in display of name.
Every professional practicing Corporate Law, selecting a name is rather a complex issue. When promoters select name for proposed company or a company try to change its name, there is complex rules. Rule 8 of the Companies (Incorporation) Rules, 2014 list undesirable names. Thereafter, a promoters or company, as the case may be, have to reserve selected name before further steps. All these are not within scope of this post.
Noun Object Private Limited (OPC)
