When is it the right choice?

MSME claim checks: confirm a named business appears on the Udyam register

Good for

MSME claim checks: confirm a named business appears on the Udyam register
Lending to small businesses: find registered MSMEs by place and activity
Supplier diversity and procurement: list MSMEs in a district for a NIC activity
Sales prospecting: newest Udyam registrations in an area

Limits

There is no lookup by Udyam registration number: you search by name, state, pincode or NIC, then read the match; use a number-based verification API when you must verify a certificate number
Name matches come in no particular order, so a common name needs a state or pincode filter
Give at least one of q, state, pincode or nic
Registered MSMEs only; it does not return a certificate PDF

Frequently asked questions

Can I verify a Udyam number with IndiaCos?

Not directly. IndiaCos searches the Udyam register by name, state, district, pincode or NIC activity; it does not take a Udyam registration number. Surepass, Attestr, Gridlines and Zoop verify by number.

How much does Udyam verification 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 Surepass, Attestr, Gridlines and Zoop do not publish a per-call price.

What can I find on an MSME record?

Name, address, registration date, NIC activities and category, and Google Maps details such as phone and rating when visitors have confirmed the listing.

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.
