India: choosing and checking the right record
- Choose the correct source
- Use MCA company or LLP information for the legal entity, then consult available signatory information and filings for officer questions. GST, company registration and professional licences are separate checks.
- Confirm the entity
- Distinguish a company CIN, an LLPIN and a director DIN. Match the full legal name and exact entity identifier before opening signatory or filing information.
- When the search returns nothing
- Try the legal entity name rather than a product or trading brand. If the business is not a company or LLP, an absent MCA match does not settle whether the business has another valid registration.
- What the record cannot establish
- Portal access, signatory information and purchased documents can differ. A DIN identifies a director, not ownership of every company associated with that person. Do not infer unrestricted signing authority from an appointment.
Check current access and document options on the official Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) site. Keep the exact entity identifier, source URL and retrieval date with your evidence. A LemReveal record PDF is not a government-certified extract.

About India company search on MCA
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) maintains India's company register. Every company holds a 21-character CIN (Corporate Identity Number) encoding listing status, industry, state, year and registration number; LLPs hold an LLPIN instead. An India company search returns the company name, CIN, date of incorporation, registered office, authorised and paid-up capital, directors (with DIN) and whether the company is active, struck off or under liquidation.

✗ Confusing the CIN with the TAN or PAN (Tax IDs).

✓ Check the 'Date of Last AGM' and recent filing status to verify if they have submitted recent balance sheets.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a CIN number?▾
CIN (Corporate Identity Number) is a 21-character alphanumeric code assigned to every company registered with MCA. It encodes the listing status (U/L), industry code, state, year of incorporation, ownership type, and a serial number. Example: U72200KA2004PTC035747.
How do I verify an Indian company?▾
Search the MCA21 portal (mca.gov.in) by company name, CIN, or director DIN number. The portal provides free access to basic company details. Detailed documents like annual returns and financial statements may require a nominal fee.
What is a DIN?▾
DIN (Director Identification Number) is a unique 8-digit number assigned to every company director in India. You can search by DIN to find all companies where a person serves or has served as a director — useful for mapping business networks.
What types of companies exist in India?▾
The most common is Private Limited (minimum 2 directors, 2 shareholders, ₹1 lakh authorized capital). Public Limited requires minimum 3 directors and 7 shareholders. OPC (One Person Company) allows a single person to form a company. LLPs combine partnership flexibility with limited liability.
How do I search for a company in India by name?▾
Use the available lookup or the linked official MCA service. Start with the legal name, then compare the exact CIN number and available identity fields. Name matches are candidates; source coverage and partial-name support vary.
Is the India company register free to search?▾
Basic company lookup is free on LemReveal. The official India register has independent access rules and may require an account or charge for searches, extracts or particular documents. Check the source's current terms.
Can I search India companies by registration number?▾
Where the source supports it, use the exact CIN number together with its register or jurisdiction. Preserve prefixes and leading zeros and compare the returned legal name. A number alone does not guarantee coverage or a successful lookup.
How do I check whether a company is registered in India?▾
Search the exact CIN number or legal name above, then confirm the entity's identifier and source. An empty result can reflect coverage limits, a source outage, spelling or a different jurisdiction; it does not prove the business is unregistered. A fuzzy candidate is not a confirmed identity.
How can I tell if a India company is still active?▾
Read the status and effective date where the MCA supplies them. Active registration does not establish trading or financial health. Monitoring is available only for supported sources and confirmed records; verify the actual watch state.
How do I find a company's CIN number?▾
Identify the legal entity using the available lookup or official MCA route. Record the CIN only where supplied, with its source and jurisdiction. Do not infer missing identifiers from a similar name.
