When is it the right choice?

Director due diligence before onboarding a company or signing a contract

Good for

Director due diligence before onboarding a company or signing a contract
Lending and credit: screen directors and guarantors for disqualification
Board and KYC refresh: confirm the DIN is still approved
Fraud screens: see how many companies one DIN sits on

Limits

The documented fields are DIN status, approval date and disqualification; a DIR-3 KYC filing status field is not listed in the docs, so do not treat it as a KYC check
A DIN with no directorships in our records returns an empty list, and the name is null until we have read it from the register
Directorships linked by name_match are matches on name, not confirmed identity
DINs shorter than 8 digits are zero-padded

Frequently asked questions

What does a DIN verification API check?

It checks that the DIN exists on the MCA register and returns its status. IndiaCos also returns live disqualification, the directorships we hold and any regulator list entries naming the DIN.

How much does a DIN 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. QorpIQ publishes INR 3 per call; Surepass, AuthBridge and Attestr do not publish a price.

Is this the same as DIN KYC status?

Surepass sells a DIN KYC Status API built on the MCA DIN status database. IndiaCos returns the MCA DIN status and approval date, but its docs do not list a KYC filing field.

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.
