What you can find out
Indian companies file their accounts, their board changes and their borrowings with the registrar, and those filings are public. This is what that means in practice.
Revenue and profit come from the audited financial statements attached to the annual filing. You get the statement as filed, not a number someone retyped.
With filings Source: Annual Returns and Balance Sheet eForms
Current directors, and every appointment and resignation with its date — so you can see who was on the board when a decision was taken.
With filings Source: Change in Directors/Designated Partner
Legal name, CIN, incorporation date and current status. A company showing Strike Off no longer legally exists, whatever its website says.

Charges created, modified and satisfied. An unreleased charge from years ago is the expensive surprise in a property or asset deal.
With filings Source: Charge Documents
Shareholding and capital structure from the annual return, plus what the company was incorporated with.
With filings Source: Annual Returns; Incorporation Documents
The presence or absence of annual filings, by year. A three-year gap is a finding in itself, and we tell you it is a gap rather than an error.

companies and LLPs you can look up for nothing
MCA company master data, published on data.gov.in.
This is more useful than it sounds. Status alone answers the question most people actually have: is this company real, and is it still alive? A company whose status reads Strike Off has been removed from the register and no longer legally exists, however current its website looks.
The CIN carries more still. It encodes the listing status, the industry, the state, the year of incorporation and the company type — so a single identifier tells you roughly what you are dealing with before you open a single document.
What the free tier cannot tell you is money. Revenue, profit, shareholding and borrowings live in the filings themselves, which is what the paid retrieval is for.
The filings
MCA organises a company's documents into eight categories and sells them one at a time. A partial pull is a partial picture, so we take all of them.
MoA, AoA, and the forms that brought the company into existence.
Annual returns and the audited financial statements attached to them.
Every appointment, resignation and change in designation, with dates.
Charges created, modified and satisfied over the company’s assets.
Certificates the registrar issued against the company’s filings.
Present only where a company converted into an LLP.
Capital changes, office shifts, resolutions, and the long tail of compliance.
Attachments the registry does not slot into the categories above.
Delivery
MCA serves documents as .OCT archives. We verify and unpack them, validate
each PDF, and organise the result by company and category.
Each set ships with a SHA-256 inventory. If a document later matters to a transaction or a dispute, you can show that what you hold is byte-for-byte what the registry served.
MCA’s paid access window closes after seven days. Your sets stay in your account afterwards, so a fee is never spent twice on the same company.
Documents already retrieved are reused only within your own account. What you order is not a contribution to a database we sell on.
Being straight with you
Primary records are the strongest evidence available, and they still have limits. Better you hear them from us than discover them mid-decision.
