Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## IBBI India - Insolvency & Bankruptcy Registry (CIRP, Liquidation, IPs) > Check any Indian company for active insolvency, liquidation, or a registered Insolvency Professional — straight from the IBBI public registry. Look up Indian corporate insolvency cases and registered Insolvency Professionals from the **Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India** (ibbi.gov.in). Returns CIRP, Liquidation, and Voluntary Liquidation cases plus the full IP registry — company name, CIN, case reference, NCLT bench, IRP/RP, commencement and closure dates, and public-notice links. Built for **KYB**, **credit risk**, **supplier verification**, **due diligence**, and **fraud prevention** workflows. No subscription required — all data is publicly disclosed under the IBC, 2016. ### What you get A structured view of every active and closed corporate insolvency case in India plus the full register of Insolvency Professionals. Search by CIN, company name, or IP registration number, or leave the query list empty to list every case matching the status filter. ### Output fields #### Corporate insolvency cases (CIRP / Liquidation / Voluntary Liquidation) | Field | Description | |-------|-------------| | `entity_type` | Always `corporate_debtor` for case records | | `company_name` | Legal name of the corporate debtor | | `cin` | 21-character Corporate Identification Number (if published) | | `case_reference_number` | NCLT / IBBI case reference (e.g. CP(IB)/...) | | `case_type` | CIRP / Liquidation / Voluntary Liquidation | | `status` | Ongoing / Closed | | `commencement_date` | Date of admission / commencement | | `closure_date` | Date of closure / dissolution (if closed) | | `insolvency_professional_name` | IRP / RP / Liquidator | | `insolvency_professional_registration` | IP registration number | | `adjudicating_authority` | NCLT bench hearing the case | | `public_notice_date` | Date of the public announcement | | `claim_submission_deadline` | Last date for creditors to file claims | | `notice_url` | Link to the original IBBI public notice | | `source_url` | IBBI listing page | | `data_source` | Origin tag | #### Insolvency Professionals | Field | Description | |-------|-------------| | `entity_type` | Always `insolvency_professional` for IP records | | `name` | Registered IP name | | `registration_number` | IBBI IP registration number | | `ipa` | Insolvency Professional Agency (IIIP-ICAI, ICSI IIP, IPA ICAI, ...) | | `enrolment_date` | Date of enrolment / validity | | `city` | City | | `state` | State | | `status` | Active / Suspended / Cancelled | ### Example output Corporate insolvency case: ```json { "entity_type": "corporate_debtor", "company_name": "Jet Airways (India) Limited", "cin": "L99999MH1992PLC066213", "case_reference_number": "CP(IB) 2205/MB/2019", "case_type": "CIRP", "status": "Ongoing", "commencement_date": "20 Jun, 2019", "insolvency_professional_name": "Ashish Chhawchharia", "insolvency_professional_registration": "IBBI/IPA-001/IP-P00294/2017-2018/10536", "adjudicating_authority": "NCLT Mumbai Bench", "public_notice_date": "22 Jun, 2019", "claim_submission_deadline": "04 Jul, 2019", "notice_url": "https://ibbi.gov.in/uploads/publicnotice/jet-airways.pdf", "source_url": "https://ibbi.gov.in/ibbi/public-notices/ongoing-public-announcements", "data_source": "ibbi" } ```` Insolvency Professional: ```json { "entity_type": "insolvency_professional", "name": "Ashish Chhawchharia", "registration_number": "IBBI/IPA-001/IP-P00294/2017-2018/10536", "ipa": "IPA ICAI", "enrolment_date": "02 Nov, 2017", "city": "Kolkata", "state": "West Bengal", "status": "Active", "source_url": "https://ibbi.gov.in/service-providers/insolvency-professionals", "data_source": "ibbi" } ``` ### Input parameters | Parameter | Required | Description | |-----------|----------|-------------| | `queries` | Yes | CINs, company names, or IP registration numbers. Mixed input allowed. | | `searchType` | No | `corporate_debtor`, `insolvency_professional`, or `both` (default). | | `status` | No | `ongoing`, `closed`, or `all`. Applies to corporate cases. Default `ongoing`. | | `maxResults` | No | Cap on records returned. Default 5, max 10000. | ### Use cases - **Compliance & KYB teams**: flag vendors and customers under CIRP or liquidation before onboarding - **Credit risk analysts**: screen borrowers against active insolvency cases in real time - **Supplier verification**: avoid contracting with firms under moratorium - **Legal & audit**: pull notice dates, claim deadlines, and NCLT bench for counsel - **Fraud prevention**: cross-check director and company identities against the resolution register - **Data teams**: enrich CRM records with current insolvency status and IP details ### Limitations - **Insolvency Professional listings are limited** — IBBI's IP directory requires session tokens and may return fewer rows than the full register. The actor reliably scrapes corporate-debtor public announcements (CIRP / Liquidation / Voluntary Liquidation). - **PDF public notices are not downloaded** — we return the `notice_url` so you can fetch them out-of-band if needed. - Queries match client-side against the parsed listing: CIN is exact-match, company name is substring, IP registration is substring. - Some very old cases may have partial fields (missing claim deadline or closure date) — the actor returns whatever IBBI has published. - IBBI occasionally reformats its public-notice pages; we track upstream changes and patch within a business day. ### Compared to alternatives There is no dedicated IBBI registry actor on the Apify Store. Alternatives are: - **Paid legal-tech APIs** (CaseMine, Manupatra, LegitQuest) — gate IBBI data behind per-query pricing or enterprise contracts - **Manual IBBI browsing** — no structured output, pagination-heavy, no IP cross-lookup This actor is a direct, subscription-free, JSON-first view of the same public registry. ### Pairs well with - [MCA India Company Scraper](https://apify.com/thirdwatch/mca-india-scraper?fpr=9m2cd6) — CIN → company master data & directors - [GST Verification India](https://apify.com/thirdwatch/gst-verification-scraper?fpr=9m2cd6) — GSTIN → business details - [LinkedIn Profile Scraper](https://apify.com/thirdwatch/linkedin-profile-scraper?fpr=9m2cd6) — enrich director and IP profiles ### FAQ **Is this data official?** Yes. IBBI publishes all corporate insolvency notices and the IP register under the IBC, 2016. This actor structures that public data into JSON. **Can I monitor a specific company for new insolvency filings?** Yes — schedule the actor to run daily with the company's CIN in `queries`. New public notices will appear as new dataset items. **Do I get NCLT orders or just the IBBI notice?** IBBI public notices and case metadata. NCLT order PDFs aren't attached but the `notice_url` is. **What's the difference between CIRP, Liquidation, and Voluntary Liquidation?** CIRP = corporate insolvency resolution process (rescue attempt). Liquidation = creditor-triggered winding up. Voluntary Liquidation = the company winds itself up. **Does this include personal insolvency?** No — corporate insolvency only. Personal insolvency under IBC is tracked separately and not on the public IBBI registry yet. *** Built by [Thirdwatch](https://thirdwatch.dev). Questions?
