It will also facilitate allotment of GSTIN wherever so applied for by the Stakeholders. After deployment of SPICe+ web form, RUN shall be applicable only for change of name of existing companies.

Upon notification & deployment, all new name reservations for new companies as well as new incorporations shall be applied through SPICe+ only
