MCA India Company Registry — CIN & Master Data

🇮🇳 MCA India Company Registry — CIN Lookup & Company Master Data

MCA India Company Registry is a NexGenData tool on Apify that returns company master data with CIN, ROC, capital and status from the Ministry of Corporate Affairs dataset on data.gov.in.

Look up any Indian company by name, ROC office or state and get its official Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) master-data record — CIN, incorporation date, authorized & paid-up capital, company class, listing status, registered office and NIC industrial classification. Sourced from India's Open Government Data (OGD) platform (data.gov.in), the same public "RoC-wise Company Master Data" resource that mirrors MCA filings — ~3.67 million companies, refreshed at source.

Built for B2B prospecting, KYC / due-diligence, supplier and counterparty verification, market intelligence, and AI agents that need structured Indian company records without scraping a portal.

Factual public records — assembled for research and monitoring. Not affiliated with or endorsed by the MCA or data.gov.in.

Tip — supply your own free API key. Pass apiKey (get one free in ~1 minute at data.gov.in: register → Profile → API key). Without it the actor falls back to a shared, heavily rate-limited public key, and a throttled run fails loud with HTTP 429 rather than silently returning partial data.

watchLabel	string	"default"	Names the watch baseline so multiple saved tasks keep independent state.
proxyConfiguration	object	{"useApifyProxy": false}	Apify proxy (optional). OGD is generally open, so proxy is off by default.

💵 Pricing

Pay-per-result, no subscription:

Event	Price
Actor start	$0.01
Company record	$0.05 each
Watch-check (per scheduled watch run)	$0.05

Worked example: a 50-company pull = 1 start ($0.01) + 50 records × $0.05 = $2.51. A daily watch run that finds 3 newly-registered companies in your slice = $0.05 watch-check + 3 × $0.05 = $0.20. A blocked/throttled source fails loud and charges nothing — you never pay for an empty "success".

⏰ Watch mode — new-company alerts

Turn on watchMode and put the actor on a schedule. The first run seeds a baseline and emits nothing; every later run emits only companies that are new in your filtered slice since the last run (keyed on CIN). Perfect for a standing "new company registrations in Karnataka" or "new companies matching my supplier name pattern" feed into Slack, a sheet, or an agent.

{ "state": "KARNATAKA", "companyName": "LOGISTICS", "watchMode": true, "watchLabel": "ka-logistics" }

❓ FAQ

Where does the data come from? India's Open Government Data platform (data.gov.in), resource "RoC-wise Company Master Data" — a public mirror of MCA company master data covering ~3.67M companies.

How fresh is it? As fresh as the OGD resource, which is refreshed periodically at source (last dataset update 2026-06-11). scraped_at records your retrieval time.

Do I need an API key? No, but it's strongly recommended. Without one you share a heavily rate-limited public key; supply your own free apiKey from data.gov.in for a private quota and no 429 failures.

Does a blocked source bill me? No. If OGD is unreachable or the shared key is throttled past its retries, the run fails loud and charges nothing — you never pay for an empty "success".

How do I search? Filter by companyName (substring), rocCode (registrar office), and/or state (matched against the registered address). Leave all blank to page the full resource.

Is this legal? Yes — this is factual public-record data published by the Government of India under its open data licence. Provided as-is for research, monitoring and due-diligence.
