Recently one of my clients wanted to know if a particular Company is genuine i.e. registered with MCA (Ministry of Corporate Affairs) since he heard they were involved in some kind of fraud/scam related to Network/Chain marketing & wanted to know the details of the Directors of that Company as well.
Since there is a way to validate all this through MCA’s Website itself, that too without any charges, i thought of posting this for anyone’s knowledge.
Following different links can be used to know couple of details about any Company. You just need to enter the desired Company Name in the Search box in order to know it’s details.
Check if the Company Name really exists
Click on the following image to see the example.
Click on the following image to see the example.
View Index of Charges – This displays the details about any Secured Loan taken from any Bank by the Company.
Click on the following image to see the example.
View Signatory details – This displays the details of the Signatory/ Directors like Name, Residential Address etc.
Click on the following image to see the example.
If any Company claims to be registered with MCA/Registrar of Companies (RoC), you may ask them for the CIN (Company Incorporation Number) which is allotted by RoC (each registered Company has a unique CIN allotted). If you could not find the Company Name either using name or CIN provided, you can be sure that it’s not Registered with Registrar of Companies/Government of India.
Note: Only LLP (Limited Liability Partnership), Private Limited Company & Public Limited Company Status can be obtained using MCA Website. Status of entities registered as Sole Proprietorship (having Shop Act Registration) or Partnership Firm can not be obtained through MCA Website.

I had purchased debentures of a company. they have not informed anything even after maturity period. their office does not exist on the given address.
The company is registered with pune ROC, and the office as well as the directors are not traceable on the given address.
The same directors appear on a new company, also registered with ROC pune, but they are not traceable on the new addresses also.
There are no contact cell numbers on ROC.
Therefore, are the addresses and contact numbers verified by ROC? The new company is formed in 2014 , even then such situation exists.
So, what is the use of the information on MOC if fraudulent people can give any address?
Please write letter specifying facts of case to ROC, ROC will take action against company. This opinion is based upon information provided by you.
Very Clear explanation.Keep it up
Thanks

Thanks for all your efforts in providing us such a great and important information and guiding us.
Here I want to Know something.
Recently I have been contacted by a person regarding job offer.
He said that he want to expand his business in my state and for that he wants to hire me as BDM.
His company name is (company Name moderated) with a turnover of 1 to 1.5 crore as displayed on the company website.
He wants me to hire a C&F agent having security deposit of 1.5 Lakh rupee.
Here the doubt arises in my mind and I checked the MCA website , whether the company is registered or not.
What I found is It doesn’t show anything with this name, means the company is not registered.
So all I want to know is that is it possible to run a company with 1.5 crore turnover without registering with MCA?
And if it is not then Please guide me how to disclose this fraudulent activity?
Whether I have to contact with Anti-corruption bureau?
Please help me and answer my queries.
I am eagerly waiting for your response.
Thanks once again for such a great work.

Please check the master data of the company or search from existing company’s list. There you will find the status of the company whether it is Active or strike off.
Hello Madam,
The information provided was very useful and informative on your website.
I have a query here I wanted to register my company as OM SAI ENTERPRISES PVT LTD.
When I checked the availability of the name if this company name is already registered with RoC,and I found that there is a company already registered with this name with registration number U51395MH2004PTC144528 and registered on 13th Feb-2004.But its status is showing as dormant.If I am correct if any company is registered under this name that name will not be available for registration.But here since the companies status is dormant can I still get that name for my company.
Though the company’s status is dormant, you cannot apply with the same name.

Thanks for your comment!
hello mam
is it possible only company name show
no master data no other link
then company is register or not
It is not possible that only company name will be displayed and not master data and no other link. If it is registered, its master data will be displayed on MCA.
Mam i am going to join a company
(Company Name moderated)
This is registered on the mca but it is not showing the incorporation date and authorised capital rs and
paid up capital rs.and
also it is highligthing on the private but it is a limited company as per the web
what does it mean
If on MCA portal it shows Public company then it is a public company and not a private limited company.
I some questions regarding starting a private firm:-
1. Currently I have not employed any person and working with my wife, so can i start my private company and file the necessary documents for the same.
2. My Annual turnover is near to 1 lakh and some times very less , so is there any requirement for registering your firm and after registering does my firm need to pay certain tax?
3.We are working in Rajasthan and live in a rented house but our permanent address proof documents are of different state, so does this matter while registering?
Sorry for the delayed reply. yes you can start private company with you and your wife. As compliance, you should submit income tax return.
if the permanent and present address is different, you can submit both the address for obtaining DIN and for registered address of the proposed company, you should submit the address proof of that place where you would like to incorporate company.
Mam, I am gonna join in a company its name is registered in mca. Its given with cin. I checked its master data also, but the thing is I am getting “No Charges Exist for Company / LLP Name” pop when i look for its view index of charges. what does this mean ? . Could you please reply me..
The charge means any secured loan taken by the company from any bank. Since you are getting pop up “No Charges Exist for Company / LLP Name” it simply means the company has not obtained any loan from bank.
How can i reactive a Strike off chit fund company please tell me what can i do this time.
Yes you can re activate a strike off chit fund company
A pvt ltd co. is regd with ROC but does not exist at its regd office. What action can be taken against it and under what law?
It will never happen that the address of the registered address does not exist. The professional should verify the address before incorporation of company.
How can I check a company is registered or not through company registration number ? I have a registration number of a company in chandigarh.
Yes you can check a company’s registration number. To find the details of company, please mention the Corporate identification Number (CIN) of the company in the company’s existing mode (file).
Thank you for this valuable post.
Madam I saw a companies website shows their certificate of incorporation.
in that certificate a corporate identity no is given. is that same as company incorporation number? and one more doubt is when i enter this no for getting company master details in mca website i got a company name which is different from the company incorporation certificate they shown in the website. what does it means? pls reply.
The Corporate Identification Number mentioned in the Certificate of Incorporation is the registration number of the company. You have to mention full number to view Company Master Data.
please tell me (Company Name Moderated) tech pvt ltd which is located in bangalore basveshwara nagar 3rd stage is fake or not reply asap please

Hi Madam,
I am a JAVA developer.

Sorry, i really can not comment on this.
I m Dealing with Foreign Company and in which i m 50% partner and i also have ATM OF Bank A/c of The same and now i want to expand my service as opening call center service can I open the compny as same name as foreign and can i require to involve that foreigner in our indian business or not…

Good Blog. Thanks and Best Wishes.
Thanks!!
Is there any way to get contact number of the registered company from MCA. I am able to access registered address of the company, but there is no contact details.
MCA does not provide contact number of the registered company.
Great job. Thank you.
1. Could you tell us how to know the registration details of sole proprietorship companies viz. small time and mid sized consulting firms, etc. from mca or any such websites
2. Is there a way to know if such firms are making profits consistently or know if there are any fraudulent charges against them?
I am asking both these questions from a prospective employees’ perspective. Most of such firms after joining, fail to pay the salary promptly citing reasons of loss or lay off people. Worst part is they knew they were not doing well financially, yet hire people and fire them mercilessly half way for no mistake of employees.
There is no way (Online/Website) to know the details of the Proprietorship concern. Also the scenario you mentioned could happen with any entity & not just proprietorship company.
Thanks.
Is there a specific govt department (apart from the police) to complain about companies that involve in such practices viz. not paying salary, not meeting the commitments in the offer letter, etc?
The matters related to the provisions of the companies are dealt by Company law Board, you may apply to that authority.
In the MCA website, if a company has defaulted in filing annual returns and balance sheet for two consecutive years in the past financial years and status is still active. Wouldn’t it be blacklisted by now or qualified to be blacklisted?
If the company fails to file Annual return and balance sheet for two consecutive years, it will not be blacklisted but it will be treated as defaulting company as per Government norms.
Hello Ma’am i have some questions regarding the DSC
1 what is the scope of DSC..?
2 whether the DSC is not registered then that director may be bounded for some works.?
3 If a DSC has been expired of any director so may it affect the decision taken by him after the DSC expired..?
4 How to renew the DSC if that is expired or going to be expire.?
1. DSC means Digital Signature certificate. Is is useful for filing Income tax and ROC returns, ROC forms.
2. DSC has to be registered on http://www.mca.gov.in without its registration, no forms will be filed with ROC within specified days.
3. If a DSC has been expired of any director, it will not affect he decision taken by him, becasue obtaining DSC if procedural part.
4. You have to make fresh application after renewal of DSC.
hi madam,
i would like to know about index charges.what happens if a company takes secured loan? please reply me.
thanks,
suri
If the company takes secured loan from bank, the company shall file form 8 (creation of charge) with ROC within 30 days from the date of creation of charge. For index of charge please visit “Company master data” available on http://www.mca.gov.in
Hi there I would like to know when and how a dormant company is stuck off. Is it by lapse of certain years or there is some other criteria.
thanks
yogesh
To struck off dormant private limited company, you need to make application to the Registrar of Companies under FTE( Fast Track Exit) Scheme. After making this application the name of company will strike off from the Registrar. But it will never strike off its name because of just lapse of certain years.
Hi thanks for reply. How to use FTE and what will be expenses involved. The company is dormant for 25years now.
thanks
Please call me.
i saw the company name in MCA but the registered address is another state. then how can i confirm is the company is approved or duplicate
Please check details about existing company and then verify whether company is approved or duplicate. You can check the company Master data where you can get full information about the state where it is registered.
Without registering company, can we do business?Its crime according to government rule?
You cannot do business without registering company. i.e. without obtaining certificate of incorporation. The certificate of incorporation is required for obtaining shop act licence, PAN TAN, VAT/CST/service tax.
Hi Ms. Abyankar,
Thanks for the very informative and useful post. I understand that “Status of entities registered as sole proprietorship (having shop act registration) or partnership firm cannot be obtained through the MCA website”. Is there any other place or site that can provide information about such entities.
I am dealing with a case where an employee is being investigated for citing an ex-employer (Indenture Technologies) that does not seem to exist, but the employee in question claims that he did work there initially for a period of 1.5 years and was paid out in cash. While I understand that it is not unusual in India (through personal experience) for some companies to take in employees (more as trainees) and not pay them money or pay their employees in cash, is it possible to get details on such companies even though they may not exist anymore?
Thanks again for your trouble.
You cannot find list of registered partnership firms or sole proprietorship firm on MCA site.
Hello ma’am thank you for your blog. It was really helpful. I have a question for you.
My brother recently joined a software company
and he has been working there for past 4 months. When I checked the details of that company through the links given there was no such company found. Is that mean the company is a fraud company or what could be the reason that it is not showing. Please reply. You can reply via email also.
Thanks
If the details of company is not showing on MCA, then it is not existing company.
hi,

Dear Madam,
we have registered a company but CIN/LLPIN is showing as per below:
LLPIN/CIN/1A Ref No Company or LLP Name State Registration Date Company Status
BXXXXXXXX (Company Name Moderated) PRIVATE LIMITED Delhi 21/02/2014 Approved
But, we are unable to find out the signatory with LLPIN/CIN/1A Ref No Company or LLP Name State
BXXXXXXXX
kindly suggest
Can you please clarify your question ?
Are you asking about how to check the signatory of ROC on certificate of incorporation ?
Hi Meenal,
I just want to know whether this company is registered or not and i checked the 5 steps that you posted on your blog , but i have few more doubts , 1) while checking the metadata of this company there i found 1)Date of Last AGM and 2) Date of Balance sheet both listed empty . Actually what does it mean ? And the company is asking me to provide security deposit amount of 50,000 rs . So after paying the amount if there any fraud happened , Is there a chance take action on that company? Thanks in advance !!!!
If the date of Last AGM and date of Balance sheet both listed empty, it means that the company is newly registered or if already registered not filed balance sheet of previous years.
Madam, Is it possible to get / see directors photo of a pvt ltd company?
You can get DIN information on MCA 21 site.
Hi, Is there any way to view registration details of a partnership firm ? Thanks.
You cannot view the registration details of partnership firm on MCA 21 portal. it is application only for LLP and company.
We have been contacted by a shipping line company, which seems to be just starting its business and has no vessels or information about their network or agents outside India.
In the agreement, they are insisting on us transferring to them a USD 30,000 deposit, and refusing any bank guarantee instead. This made us a bit suspicious. Thanks to your post we have followed the steps and verified it is a registered company, but is there any way to check they are a good company, which will not steal our deposit after the transfer. How can we check the quality of the company, and protect ourselves? Their website don’t tell much, no clients, no agents network information. Would love to hear your opinion about this.
Thanks a lot in advance
Sorry for the delayed reply. It is difficult to know the authenticity of their business but to know the company financial position in detail, you may visit this link http://www.mca.gov.in/DCAPortalWeb/dca/MyMCALogin.do?method=setDefaultProperty&mode=12 , which is available on the MCA Portal.

Hi,
I just want to check few details before joining the organisation (XYZ). Inorder to check if company is genuine we look for MCA site. If the MCA site has mentioned that the Registration date is 2012 will it be in same year or is there any possibility for the owners to renew it.
Worried about the date of registration as they informed its from 21 years. Can a company exist and register later after like 4-5 years after they set up ???
Thanks,
Sravanthi
There could be either two possibilities as follows :-
1) The mentioned organisation is in business since last 21 years as proprietory concern/ partnership firm and later on registered as company in 2012.
2) The company was registered with old name and later on changed its name. In the case of change of name, the ROC issues Fresh Certificate of incorporation with current date and in which they mention the old registration date.

Hi, could you guide me how to get the official document from ROC (or some other Indian government agency) with all important info about the private company in India (LTD): the name, short name, address, ownership structure, current status … We need that document for completing some process in Serbia/EU about Indian company which is in process of opening its branch in Serbia. The master data of private company that we found on MCA contains almost all necessary info (excluding ownership structure). But, we need that document with signature and stamp provided by official person in ROC as we will complete the process (with apostille …). Thanks in advance.
Please visit nearest Registrar of Companies within whose jurisdiction the registered office of the company is situated and ask for certified true copy of required document.

Since you are not able to find out the details of company, it may be possible that the company does not exist or not registered with the Registrar of Companies.
Additionally you can ask for the Corporate Identification Number (CIN) i.e. the registration number of the company and search for the same.
