Company name rectification: central government may require a company to change a confusing or infringing name with penalties. Rectification of name of company permits the Central Government to direct a newly registered or renamed company to change its name if it is identical with or too nearly resembles an existing company name or, on application by a registered trade mark proprietor within the prescribed post registration period, if it resembles an existing trade mark; such directions require the company to adopt an ordinary resolution and change its name within the prescribed timeframe, notify the Registrar with the Government order for amendment of the certificate and memorandum, and non compliance attracts daily fines on the company and specified fines on officers in default.
