Last verified: 28 September 2026. MCA21 remains the official source for company and LLP master data. MCA's 2026 portal changes also introduced new ROC/RD mappings in some jurisdictions, so rely on the live MCA record rather than an old ROC list.
What Is Company Master Data?
Company Master Data is the basic statutory identity/profile information maintained by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs.
It is useful for:
- vendor verification;
- client onboarding;
- legal-entity checks;
- company research;
- confirming registered office/status;
- identifying CIN/LLPIN and ROC.
Details You Can Commonly Verify
Depending on entity and portal view:
- Company/LLP name
- CIN / LLPIN
- date of incorporation
- company category/class
- authorised capital
- paid-up capital
- registered office
- company status
- ROC/jurisdiction
- other public master-data fields
Important Correction: Master Data Is Not Full Financial Due Diligence
Basic master data does not automatically give you complete audited financial statements.
For deeper review, MCA's public-document services and filed forms may need to be accessed separately under the applicable process/fee.
Do not claim that a basic company search proves profitability, solvency or tax compliance.

What “Active” Does Not Mean
An active MCA status does not automatically prove:
- GST is active;
- annual returns are fully up to date;
- no litigation exists;
- no debt/default exists;
- bank details are genuine;
- sector licences are valid.
Use MCA master data as one part of due diligence.
2026 ROC Mapping Changes
MCA announced new/changed ROC structures effective in 2026 for certain locations. This means old blogs that permanently map one state/city to an older ROC office can become outdated.
Always use the ROC/jurisdiction displayed by the current MCA system.
