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 QorpIQ publishes INR 3 per call; Surepass, AuthBridge and Attestr do not publish a price.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. ## Related - [Best DIN and director search APIs in India](https://jurisgrid.com/best/din-director-search-api-india/index.md) - [Best MCA data APIs in India](https://jurisgrid.com/best/mca-data-api-india/index.md) - [Best KYB and business verification APIs in India](https://jurisgrid.com/best/kyb-business-verification-api-india/index.md) - [IndiaCos vs Surepass](https://jurisgrid.com/compare/indiacos-vs-surepass/index.md) - [IndiaCos vs QorpIQ](https://jurisgrid.com/compare/indiacos-vs-qorpiq/index.md) - [IndiaCos vs AuthBridge](https://jurisgrid.com/compare/indiacos-vs-authbridge/index.md) - [B2B company search API](https://jurisgrid.com/solutions/b2b-company-search-api/index.md) - [CIN verification API](https://jurisgrid.com/solutions/cin-verification-api/index.md) - [Company litigation check API](https://jurisgrid.com/solutions/company-litigation-check-api/index.md) - [Company search by name API](https://jurisgrid.com/solutions/company-search-by-name-api/index.md) - [Director details API](https://jurisgrid.com/solutions/director-details-api/index.md) - [GST return filing status API](https://jurisgrid.com/solutions/gst-return-filing-status-api/index.md) - [GST search by name API](https://jurisgrid.com/solutions/gst-search-by-name-api/index.md) - [GST verification API](https://jurisgrid.com/solutions/gst-verification-api/index.md)
