Quick summary
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) issued a notice titled “Extension of time period for validity of name reservation and resubmission”. It was listed under Important Updates on the MCA portal on 20/06/2026. The Ministry said the relief was needed because of capacity enhancement and restoration activities at the Data Centre after a fire incident on 05/06/2026.
This post records what the notice allowed. The dates in it have all passed, so it is for reference and for understanding how the relief worked.
| Case | Original expiry or last date | What the notice allowed |
|---|---|---|
| Approved name reservation | Between 21/06/2026 and 30/06/2026 (both inclusive) | SRN validity extended up to 10/07/2026 |
| Approved name reservation (Companies and LLPs, including RUN, RUN-LLP and SPICe+ Part A) | Expired between 05/06/2026 and 20/06/2026 | Ticket with the MCA Helpdesk on or before 30/06/2026 to seek validity up to 10/07/2026, examined case by case, including whether the name was still available |
| e-form resubmission | Last date between 21/06/2026 and 30/06/2026 (both inclusive) | SRN validity extended up to 10/07/2026 |
| e-form resubmission | Last date was between 05/06/2026 and 20/06/2026 | Ticket with the MCA Helpdesk on or before 30/06/2026 to seek validity up to 10/07/2026, examined case by case |
| e-form cancelled for non-resubmission in that period | Cancelled | Could be reopened on a Helpdesk request, case by case, then open for resubmission up to 10/07/2026 |
The relief in this notice does not cover anything lapsing after 10/07/2026. In that case the normal process applies, which may mean a fresh name application or a request through the MCA Helpdesk. Please take advice before relying on any earlier SRN.

The notice says the relief was given because of capacity enhancement and restoration work at the Data Centre after the fire incident of 05/06/2026, to reduce the adverse impact on stakeholders.
No. Only SRNs whose validity or last resubmission date fell between 21/06/2026 and 30/06/2026 (both dates inclusive) were extended up to 10/07/2026 under the notice. Those that expired between 05/06/2026 and 20/06/2026 had to raise a ticket with the MCA Helpdesk on or before 30/06/2026.
No. The ticket deadline of 30/06/2026 and the extended validity of 10/07/2026 have both passed. If a name reservation or resubmission has lapsed since, a fresh application or a Helpdesk request under the normal process is the route, so take professional advice.
The notice says such an e-form could be reopened on a request through the MCA Helpdesk, examined case by case after verification, and then made available for resubmission up to 10/07/2026.
