# Struck off company check API for India: ROC strike-off status by CIN

A struck off company check API tells you whether a company or LLP has been struck off the Registrar of Companies register, so you do not onboard, pay or contract with a defunct entity.

Reviewed: 13 Nov 2026

## Short answer

IndiaCos Company API returns a company's status and any ROC strike-off list entries in its regulatory array, and the companies list filters by status struck-off. It costs INR 0.40 per successful call, with INR 50 free credit. Surepass and InstaFinancials also sell strike-off checks, without public per-call prices.

## Which API does it?

**IndiaCos Company API** (JurisGrid score 85 of 100). Price: INR 0.40 per successful call, INR 50 free credit. INR 50 free credit on sign-up, no card needed.

## 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 Surepass and InstaFinancials do not publish a per-call price for their API.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.
