Questions people actually ask

You can get the same public filings directly from MCA. Entiva saves you the repeated category searches, CAPTCHAs, timed download window and work of unpacking and checking the files. It collects all eight document categories and gives you the original filings in one organised set. You can ask questions about those filings, with each answer pointing to its source document. Entiva can add only the newer filings when you check again during MCA's seven-day access window, and alert you when MCA publishes something new. If you only need basic company details, use Entiva's free lookup or MCA directly.

Yes. Many MCA eForm PDFs carry their attachments inside the file rather than as separate downloads: a shareholder list inside an annual return, financial statements inside an AOC-4. Some PDF viewers, Mac Preview among them, show only the form pages, so the attachment is easy to miss, and a copy downloaded from MCA keeps it inside the form unless MCA also lists it separately. Entiva saves embedded attachments as their own files beside the form it came from, named after that form, and keeps the original PDF intact. Attachments are included when you search a company’s filings or ask questions about them.

Yes. Follow the company and Entiva checks MCA once a day. When MCA publishes a new filing, it appears in your Entiva notifications and in a daily email. Alerts are free; opening the new documents still requires an order.

Yes. Add Entiva to your own ChatGPT or Claude, sign in with your Entiva account, and ask about the companies you hold. It can name the filing behind each answer. It is read-only, sees only your companies, and costs nothing extra from Entiva. Setup steps are at entiva.in/ai-research/.

India’s companies register. The free lookup uses the company master data the ministry itself publishes openly. The filings come from the MCA’s own View Public Documents service, which sells a company’s public documents to anyone who pays the fee. Nothing is scraped from another company’s database.

Without an account: the legal name, CIN or LLPIN, current status, date of incorporation and state of every registered company and LLP in India. With a free account: the full register record of any company, including its registered office, capital, directors and charges; any director’s record and the companies linked to them; a map of who connects to whom; and alerts when something new is filed. Your first account also opens one company Entiva already holds, with its filings and questions about them. New register lookups are limited each day. Financial statements and other filed documents need an order.

Yes, within limits worth understanding. Indian companies file audited financial statements with the registrar, and those filings are public. So revenue and profit are obtainable for most companies, but they arrive months after the year they describe, and a company in default may not have filed at all.

These are public records the MCA sells to anyone who asks, and we pay the prescribed fee through the registry’s own payment channel. What we automate is the clicking, not the entitlement.

Most orders are ready within 2 hours of payment, and checkout shows the time to expect before you pay. Until 31 January 2027, MCA releases documents in the evening, so an order paid during the day arrives that evening. When the government portal is slow or down, an order can take 1 to 2 days longer. Your order page shows progress, and we email you when the documents are ready. You do not need to pay again.

Not with Entiva. You pay us once per company, and if MCA’s side stalls (a payment it shows as incomplete, a download that breaks, an access window that runs out), that is ours to resolve, not yours to pay for again. A company you have already opened costs nothing to open again. On MCA directly, about 1 in 40 company purchases is someone paying again for a company they had bought only recently.

Yes, as a read-only Model Context Protocol (MCP) server rather than a REST API. Any MCP client, including an agent you build or a server application, can list its tools and read the companies and filings you hold; a server connects with OAuth client credentials and needs no browser sign-in each time it runs. It cannot order filings or change your account. The tools and setup are at entiva.in/developers/.

Yes. The free lookup needs no account at all; to order filings, create one with Google, or with your name, email and a password and then open the link we email you to confirm the address. Nothing else stands between you and your first order. Teams that want several named users on one account should get in touch instead.

We tell you the files could not be fetched; it is never shown as a company with nothing on file. Files already delivered are kept, and an order is only marked complete after every delivered file has been checked.
