MCA / CIN Lookup API Integration
Resolve a company's master data and director signatory list from the MCA registry by CIN.
What MCA / CIN Lookup API integration does
MCA integration resolves a company's master data and director signatory list from the Ministry of Corporate Affairs registry using its Corporate Identity Number. It answers the two questions that matter most in business onboarding: does this company actually exist as claimed, and is the person signing authorised to bind it?
The second question is the one most processes skip. A merchant agreement signed by someone who is not a director or authorised signatory is a weak instrument, and the weakness only becomes visible when you need to enforce it. Checking the MCA director list against the name on the agreement takes one call, and it belongs in the onboarding flow rather than in a legal review that happens after a dispute.
