If they find no similar word by spellings or phonetically, they advertise the trademark in gazette of India to be published for general public.

If your Mark is opposed, the trademark authorities will let you know the person who has opposed and if you want to proceed you must initiate by legal process then.

If there is no objection from anyone your trademark will be issued after 4 months. Therefore trademark application generally takes 5-6 months to get into registered state.
