Frequently asked questions

How do I check litigation against a company?

Call the cases endpoint with the company's CIN or LLPIN, or with its GSTIN. IndiaCos returns counts as respondent and petitioner, risk flags and the recent cases.

How much does a company litigation check cost?

IndiaCos charges INR 0.40 per successful call from a prepaid wallet, and new accounts get INR 50 free credit, about 125 calls. Errors such as 404 not found are not billed. Surepass, Attestr and InstaFinancials do not publish a per-call API price.

Can I run this on a person?

Not with this API: court searches are not run on the names of private individuals. eCourtsIndia LegalCheck runs person and company checks at INR 99 per check.

Can an AI agent run this check?

Yes. IndiaCos runs an MCP server at https://indiacos.com/mcp, so assistants such as Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor can call the same lookups with an API key. Each successful call is billed at INR 0.40 like any other API call.
