What we handle when you check a company or keep your own current

We read the master data, filings, directors and charges together and tell you what they mean for your contract or investment.

What each field of the master data tells you

FieldWhat it tells you
CIN
Status
Class
  • Private, Public or One Person Company. A private company may not offer shares to the public
Category and sub-category
  • How members’ liability is limited, and who controls the company: private owners, the government or a foreign parent
Authorised and paid-up capital
  • The most share capital the company may issue, and what has actually been paid in. Neither is its net worth
Listing
  • Whether its shares are listed on a stock exchange
Industry
  • The main business declared at registration, under that year’s code list, so an old company can look odd: Infosys’s code means hospital activities
RoC
  • The Registrar of Companies that holds the record. The register still shows the old office names after the February 2026 split
Date of incorporation
  • The date the company came into existence
Registered office
  • The address where official notices go
What the master data leaves out
  • Directors, charges, filing history and previous names. Ask us and we pull them from MCA

Every enquiry gets a written reply within 12 hours.

Then we correct what your own company’s record shows: annual filings, director changes and share transfers.

Questions about company master data

What is company master data?

Company master data is the Registrar’s summary record of a company or LLP: its CIN, status, class, capital, Registrar, date of incorporation and registered office.

How do I check company master data on MCA?

Open View Company/LLP Master Data on mca.gov.in, search by name or CIN and enter the captcha. Our tool shows the same core fields without one.

Can I download the whole MCA master data?

Yes. MCA publishes it as open data on data.gov.in, free to reuse with attribution.

What is the difference between authorised and paid-up capital?

Authorised capital is the ceiling on shares the company may issue; paid-up capital is what shareholders have actually paid in.

How do I check a company’s directors on MCA?

MCA’s own master data page lists them with their Director Identification Number (DIN). The open data our tool uses leaves them out.

Can I view company master data without logging in?

Yes. MCA shows it after a captcha, and our tool shows it without one.

What is MCA V3?

MCA V3 is the current version of MCA21, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs portal. Master data opened on V3 in July 2023 while V2 kept running for a time, which is why older guides describe V2, and all company forms moved to V3 by July 2025.
