    How do I search for a company by name in India?

    Search the legal name on MCA, or use LemReveal's free basic lookup where supported. Treat name matches as candidates until the exact identifier and available identity details agree. Fields such as CIN (Corporate Identity Number), Company name and registered address, Date of incorporation, Authorized and paid-up capital depend on the source; official access and fees vary.

    Step-by-step

    1. 1

      Enter the legal name

      Start with the legal name on the contract. Try a distinctive part only if the source supports partial-name searches; trading names may require a separate source.

    2. 2

      Narrow ambiguous matches

      Common names return several entities. Use the registered address, incorporation date, or entity type (Private Limited Company, Public Limited Company, One Person Company (OPC)) to identify the right one.

    3. 3

      Open the candidate record

      Compare the exact identifier and available fields. If identity is uncertain, keep the match unresolved rather than selecting the first result.

    4. 4

      Cross-check against MCA

      For KYC or contract files, confirm the record against the primary source at https://www.mca.gov.in.

    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.

    Check current access and document options on the official Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) site. For search limitations and missing-result guidance, see the India registry guide.

    Frequently asked questions

    Can I search India companies by name for free?

    LemReveal's basic lookup is free where supported. Check MCA's own search, account and document conditions separately.

    What if I only know part of the company name?

    Check whether the source supports partial names. Try the legal or former name and ask for an exact identifier. Similarity alone is not confirmation.

    What does a India company search return?

    Available fields can include CIN (Corporate Identity Number), Company name and registered address, Date of incorporation, Authorized and paid-up capital. Missing fields are not negative findings; inspect each result's source and retrieval date.

    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.
