"Not published" means the provider does not state this on a public page. It is not a judgement on the product.

When is it the right choice?

Vendor and supplier onboarding: reject entities struck off by the ROC

Good for

  • Vendor and supplier onboarding: reject entities struck off by the ROC
  • Auditors and finance teams: test payees against the struck-off lists
  • Lending: confirm a borrower is still on the register
  • Due diligence on counterparties before signing

Limits

  • Lookup is by CIN or LLPIN; find the CIN first with the search endpoint if you only have a name
  • Status reflects our refresh of public lists; a company can be restored after strike-off, so confirm on MCA before acting
  • The documented fields do not include the Section 248 notice text, only the list entries

Frequently asked questions

How do I check if a company is struck off?

Look up its CIN. IndiaCos returns the company status and any ROC strike-off list entries in the regulatory array.

How much does a struck off company 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 Surepass and InstaFinancials do not publish a per-call price for their API.

Can I list all struck-off companies in a state?

Use the companies endpoint with status=struck-off and a state filter. Each page of up to 100 records is one billed call.

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.
