Know who you are dealing with before you sign, invest, lend, onboard, or release funds.
Source-backed public-record due diligence on Indian companies, vendors, borrowers, promoters, and counterparties — human-reviewed and delivered in 24–48 hours.
Most business relationships start on trust, not records.
Many businesses rely on introductions, polished websites, a GST number and a few basic documents, without ever checking the public-record risk indicators that already exist. By the time a dispute, default or compliance gap surfaces, the contract is signed, the cheque is cleared and the vendor is onboarded.
What a report can cover
We compile risk indicators from official and credible public sources, match them to the entity and its people, and cite where each finding came from.
MCA / ROC records
Company and LLP master data, status, charges and filing indicators.
GST status & filing indicators
Registration status and public filing-activity signals where available.
EPFO & ESIC checks
Establishment indicators plus employee headcount and how it has trended over time, a useful read on the company's operating scale and momentum.
District, High Court & Supreme Court
Public case searches across district courts, High Courts and the Supreme Court, matched to the entity or named individuals.
Consumer court disputes
Consumer forum matters surfaced from public cause lists and orders.
ITAT & tax litigation
Income-tax tribunal and tax-dispute records in the public domain.
IBC / insolvency records
Insolvency and bankruptcy proceedings referenced in public sources.
SEBI & regulatory orders
Publicly available regulatory orders and enforcement references.
Watchout Investors references
References surfaced from publicly maintained investor-caution sources.
Government debarment lists
Public debarment and blacklisting references where published.
Director & promoter linkages
Other entities linked to the same directors or promoters in records.
Adverse public records
Other adverse references located in official or credible public sources.
The indicators we surface
Explore the categories of risk a report can highlight. Each is built from available public records and reported with its source and date of search.
Compliance gaps
Indicators that statutory filings or registrations may be lapsed, inconsistent or missing in public records.
- ROC filing-status indicators
- GST registration status signals
- EPFO / ESIC establishment indicators
- Inactive or struck-off status references
Risk tags and a clear overall rating
Every report distils its findings into scannable risk tags and one overall rating, so a decision-maker gets the picture in seconds, with the detail and sources behind it.
Overall risk rating
Each report carries one internal rating, based on what public records show within scope. It is a decision-support rating, not a credit rating or legal conclusion.
No material red flag matched within scope as of the date of search. Routine indicators only.
Some indicators warrant attention, e.g. active litigation, filing or linkage signals, but nothing decisive on their own.
One or more significant red flags found, such as high-severity litigation, regulatory or insolvency references.
Serious concern, e.g. struck-off status, debarment, or multiple severe references, warranting careful review before proceeding.
Identifiers or public records were too limited to form a reliable view. We flag this rather than guess.
Risk tags
We attach short, consistent tags to a report so the key signals are scannable at a glance. Tags reflect what was matched in public records, with sources, as of the date of search.
Tags and ratings are an internal summary to aid your decision. They are not a credit score, certification or legal determination, and absence of a tag does not prove absence of risk.
Built for everyone who has to trust a counterparty
Founders & SMEs
Check partners, vendors and counterparties before committing to a deal or relationship.
Investors & acquirers
Screen companies, promoters and litigation history before investing or acquiring.
Procurement teams
Vet vendors before onboarding, issuing POs or extending business credit.

Add a public-records risk layer before extending business credit or facilities.
Exporters & distributors
Understand overseas-facing counterparties and channel partners before engaging.
CAs, CSs, lawyers & consultants
Support client advisory with structured, source-backed public-records findings.
When a report pays for itself
A single source-backed read before a decision is far cheaper than the dispute, default or write-off it helps you avoid.
Vendor onboarding
Run a check before adding a new supplier or service provider to your books.
Pre-contract checks
Know the counterparty before signing an agreement or master services contract.
Investment screening
Surface red-flag indicators before a term sheet, cheque or follow-on round.
Business credit checks
Layer public-record risk indicators into a credit or limit decision.
Franchise / dealership checks
Assess a franchisor, franchisee or dealership before committing capital.
Acquisition & partnership
Diligence a target or partner across litigation, compliance and linkages.
Monthly monitoring
Keep selected entities on a watchlist and get notified when records change.
A clear report you can act on
Every engagement ends in a structured PDF that any decision-maker can read in minutes, with the sources behind each finding and the date they were checked.

View Sample Report (PDF)Why teams trust the findings
Every report is built the same disciplined way, anchored to verifiable identifiers, drawn from public sources, and reported with the source and date behind each finding.
How we match identity
We anchor every search to verifiable identifiers: CIN, LLPIN, GSTIN, director DINs and registered names, so findings are tied to the right entity, not a similarly named one.
Sources we typically check
MCA / ROC, GST status, EPFO / ESIC, district courts, High Courts and the Supreme Court, consumer forums, ITAT, IBC references, SEBI and regulatory orders, debarment lists and other credible public sources.
How we report findings
Each finding carries its source link and the date of search. We report what the records show in neutral language, no editorialising, no claims beyond the record.
What we do not do
We do not give legal advice, issue credit ratings, run private investigations or guarantee future conduct. A report is a public-records risk picture to inform your own decision.
What a check can surface
Illustrative examplesActive GST, but director-linked litigation surfaced
A supplier looked clean on the surface, valid GSTIN and active status, but a search surfaced pending litigation tied to a common director across two linked entities.
Promoter linked to a struck-off company
Identity matched cleanly, yet linkage mapping showed the promoter tied to a separate company that had been struck off, prompting a closer look before the round.
One address, several entities
A counterparty's registration matched, but the registered address mapped to multiple entities with overlapping directors, a pattern worth understanding before signing.
Examples are illustrative and anonymised, not specific clients or entities.
Where a public-record risk report fits
We don't replace your credit bureau, your lawyer or your own judgement. We fill the gap they leave, a reviewed, source-linked read of the public record before you commit.
| Option | Good for | Limitation | Where we fit |
|---|---|---|---|
| DIY MCA / GST search | A quick, free status or registration check on one entity. | Scattered across portals; no litigation, linkage or risk view; easy to mis-match identities. | We pull these together and add litigation, linkage and a reviewed risk read. |
| Credit report | Creditworthiness, payment behaviour and a bureau score. | Not designed for litigation, regulatory, insolvency or director-linkage red flags. | We cover the public-record risk side a credit score does not show. |
| Legal opinion | A lawyer's formal view on documents or a specific legal question. | Higher cost and time; usually assumes you already know what to investigate. | We surface the public-record red flags worth taking to your lawyer. |
| SaaS database / dashboard | Self-serve data access and bulk lookups for in-house teams. | Raw data, not interpretation; licence cost; you do the matching and judgement. | We deliver a human-reviewed, source-linked report, no licence or learning curve. |
| Private investigator | Field enquiries and non-public information gathering. | Variable rigour; sourcing not always transparent or public-record based. | We stay strictly to public, source-linked records you can verify. |
| Inamdar Business Analysis report | A human-reviewed, source-linked public-record risk picture for a specific decision. | Public-record based; not a credit rating, legal opinion or guarantee of future conduct. | Built for business decisions, sign, invest, lend, onboard or partner. |
Positioned honestly, each option has its place. We complement credit reports and legal advice rather than replace them.
