It costs INR 1.50 per call on pay as you go, with INR 200 free credit. A separate call queues a refresh from the court source. Surepass, Vakeel360 and Attestr also offer CNR-based case lookups.

Good for

Case-tracking apps that poll CNRs for new hearings
Pre-loan checks on a case a borrower names
Corporate legal teams monitoring their own matters
Law firm dashboards that sync cases by CNR

Limits

A CNR identifies one case, so this is a lookup, not a search by person name; use the search endpoint for that
Data is mirrored, so queue a refresh if you need the latest court update
Failed requests are not charged but a successful lookup of a case with little data still is

Frequently asked questions

What is a CNR number?

The Case Number Record is a 16-character code that identifies one case across the eCourts system, for example DLND020047882015. The first characters encode the state and court.

How much does a CNR lookup cost?

INR 1.50 per case detail call on eCourtsIndia pay as you go and INR 0.50 on an Enterprise plan. New accounts get INR 200 free credit, and requests that fail are not charged.

Can I check many CNRs at once?

Yes for refreshes: POST /case/bulk-refresh queues many CNRs and a status endpoint reports progress. Cause list checks take up to 100 CNRs per batch call.

Can an AI agent call this API?

Yes. eCourtsIndia runs an MCP server at https://mcp.ecourtsindia.com/mcp, so assistants such as Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor can use the same data after signing in at eCourts. The REST API uses a Bearer token.
