CIN check online: verify a company before you deal

A CIN (Corporate Identification Number) check tells you whether a company you are about to pay, supply or sign with is on the Indian company register, and what the register says about it. Finance, procurement and vendor-onboarding teams run it before the first purchase order, not after the first dispute.

This page explains how the Company Verification check works on VerifyAll, what comes back, and what to do when it finds nothing.

What you enter

• The company's CIN, the 21-character identifier printed on its incorporation certificate, invoices and letterheads.

Data source

The check reads the company master record held on the Indian company register. VerifyAll shows the record as returned, with the date and time it was checked. Every report carries a reference that anyone can use to verify it.

What a result contains

• Registered company name and CIN
• Company status, for example active or struck off
• Date of incorporation and company category
• Registered office address
• Directors and signatories shown on the company record, where the record lists them
• The date and time of the lookup and the report reference

The fields shown depend on what the register holds for that company.

How to run it

1. Register a business account and submit your company details. A business account is reviewed and approved before any report runs.
2. Recharge the prepaid wallet from the dashboard.
3. Open Company Verification in the dashboard, enter the CIN and run the check.
4. Read the status and registered address, and save the report with your vendor file.

Price and turnaround

There are no subscriptions. Each check is charged at its own rate from the prepaid wallet, and the rate card in the dashboard shows every price. A single lookup is returned while you wait. Reports that depend on a provider take as long as the provider takes.

Reading a no record result

No record means the register returned nothing for that CIN. Check the number for a typing error first. If it is correct, ask the company for its incorporation certificate before you pay anything. Proprietorships and some partnerships have no CIN at all, so use the GST and PAN to Udyam checks for them.

Checks that go with it

• GST Verification for the vendor's tax registration
• PAN to Udyam for MSME status
• Basic Business Verification for a wider company review
• Bulk CSV upload when you have a list of vendors

FAQ

Can I check a company by name instead of CIN? This page covers the CIN check. Enter the CIN printed on the company's documents. If you do not have it, ask the company for its incorporation certificate.

Can a personal account run it? No. Company Verification is for business accounts. Personal accounts can run identity checks on themselves plus public-record checks.

Do I pay if the result is no record? Each check is charged at its own rate from the wallet. Check the CIN carefully before you run it, and write to support@verifyall.ai if a charge looks wrong.
