Company name rectification: Central Government can direct change for name or trademark conflicts, with mandatory Registrar notification. Where a company's registered name is identical with or too nearly resembles an existing company name or a registered trade mark, the Central Government may direct a name change; the company must adopt an ordinary resolution and change its name within three months. The company must notify the Registrar within fifteen days with the Government order for amendment of the certificate of incorporation and memorandum. On default the Central Government may allot a new name and the Registrar will issue a fresh certificate, with the company retaining the later ability to change its name under general provisions.
