CLR Notes: New Registrar CRC (Central Registration Centre) at Manesar, Gurgaon, will now approve names of all Companies in India as well as approve incorporation of Companies all over India with effect from 28th March, 2016. This is in continuation of ease of doing business theme being promoted by our Prime Minister Sh. Narendra Modi. This will be a welcome step as now the State Registrar of Companies will be free from their routine administrative tasks of incorporating Companies and so that they can focus on scrutiny and compliances. The CRC can also become a specialised centre of excellence.
