- Corporate KYC: identify who runs a business customer or counterparty
- Signatory checks before a contract or loan

- Adverse screening: run each director through defaulter and court-case lookups

- Names of people can be shared by several individuals; use the DIN, not the name, to follow a person
- Contact details of directors are not returned

## Frequently asked questions

### How do I get the directors of a company by API?

Call the directors endpoint with the CIN or LLPIN. You get each director's DIN, designation, appointment and cessation dates and status.

### How much does a director details API 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 QorpIQ publishes INR 3 per call; Surepass and Attestr do not publish a price.

### Can I see all companies of one director?

Yes. Call the director endpoint with the DIN to list directorships, or the person endpoint to see every role under a name.

### Can an AI agent run this check?
