Can we choose words like 'unlimited'/'incorporated' while naming of partnership firm as per Indian Partnership Act,1932. Will IG of Registration grant registration to the firm if we choose so.

Dear Chakrapani,
A firm shall not have any of the names or emblems specified in the Schedule to the Emblems and Names (Prevention of Improper Use) Act, 1950, or any colourable imitation thereof, unless permitted so to do under that Act, or any name which is likely to be associated by the public with the name of any other firm on account of similarity, or any name which, in the opinion of the Registrar, for reasons to be recorded in writing, is undesirable : Provided that nothing in this sub-section shall apply to any firm registered under any such name before the date of the commencement of the Indian Partnership Act.
Hence, there is no bar however it is the discretion of the registering authority, however, an appeal shall lie in event of rejection of the name.
