MCA Company Information

3 endpoints · Core API

What is it?

The MCA Company Information API provides direct access to the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) database for company and director verification. It covers three distinct lookups:

  1. Company Transaction Information — Retrieve company profile, registered address, financial data (profit/loss, turnover), and audit information using the Corporate Identification Number (CIN).

  2. Directors by CIN — Fetch all directors and their association status (Active/Resigned) for a company using its CIN.

  3. Director by DIN — Retrieve personal details of a director using their 8-digit Director Identification Number (DIN), including name, father's name, DOB, and DIN status.

Benefits

  • Verify company registration, status, and financial standing
  • Identify and authenticate company directors and their current association
  • Confirm DIN status and director identity for due diligence
  • Government-authoritative data directly from the MCA registry

What you can do

Verify companies and their directors for KYC, vendor onboarding, credit underwriting, legal due diligence, regulatory compliance, and fraud prevention workflows.

    Whether this request was charged: true if it was, false if not. Errors always show false. Flows that finish later (ITR Fetch, SHCIL eStamp, DigiLocker, eSign) show false here, because the charge is made when the result is ready. eSign charges each signer when they complete signing. DigiLocker deducts the credit when the link is created and refunds it automatically if the link expires before the user completes it.
