## Good for

- KYB for companies: confirm the entity exists, is active and has the capital it claims
- Credit and underwriting: read open charges and status of a borrower
- Vendor due diligence: check directors and whether the company is on a regulator list
- CRM and data enrichment: resolve a CIN to a clean company record

## Limits

- It is a database built from public sources, not a live MCA21 session; check status on MCA before an irreversible decision
- pan is null when no company PAN is on record
- Financial statements and filed documents are not in the documented response
- An old CIN returns the current record with former_cin set

## Frequently asked questions

### Is there an official MCA API?

QorpIQ notes that MCA publishes no official public API for company master data, so sellers, including IndiaCos, build the data from public sources. Check each seller's data source and update dates.

### How much does an MCA company data 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 QorpIQ publishes INR 3 per master data record; Surepass, AuthBridge and Attestr do not publish a price.

### Can I look up an LLP?

Yes. The company endpoint accepts a 21-character CIN or an LLPIN such as AAA-1234.

### 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.
