What is India Government Data Search?

India Government Data Search is an Apify Actor that queries official Indian government databases across business, construction, health, and legal domains. Instead of navigating MCA, RBI, CPWD, CDSCO, and India Code portals separately, you search them all at once.

The Actor calls the SIP Public Data Gateway — a unified API that normalizes responses from 24 Indian data products. No browser, no scraping — just HTTPS API calls.

FAQ

Does it cover state-level data? MCA company master covers all Indian companies nationwide. CPWD and DDA are central government. State-specific registries vary — Startup India and Udyam provide state-wise breakdowns.

Can I search by CIN number? Yes. Use a CIN (e.g. "L22210MH1995PLC084781") as a search term with business category enabled.

How current is RBI NBFC data? RBI updates the NBFC register as registrations are granted or cancelled. SIP fetches from the official RBI data portal.
