Trusted by 8,000+ companies
Why a Records Search Beats Self-Declaration
A candidate doesn't need to declare a directorship, or know a DIN, for this check to work. It runs on the name on their PAN card against MCA director records.
Runs on the Name on PAN, Not Self-Declaration
The search uses the candidate's name exactly as it appears on their PAN card. They don't need to know or supply a DIN.
Official MCA Records, Both Name Orders
The name is searched against the Ministry of Corporate Affairs' director records as first name then surname, and again as surname then first name.
Every Matching Company
Where a director record matches the candidate's name, every company it is listed against is reported, not just the first result.
Scoped Honestly
Covers MCA registered directorships, excluding DIN checks, cross-directorships, proprietorships, and international roles.
The Directorship Check Process
A direct, API-driven lookup against the government's own company registry.
1
PAN Confirmed
PAN is the mandatory input. If another ID was used for the identity check, an insufficiency is raised specifically for the PAN card.
2
Name Search Run
The name on the PAN card is searched against MCA director records in both orders, for example Priya Sharma and Sharma Priya.
3
Result Interpreted
Results are checked against the candidate’s name; without other identifiers, matches remain unconfirmed.
4
Graded & Reported
A name match is never graded Discrepant, even when it is exact. Clients can submit an affidavit to request a regrade.
Everything a Directorship Check Uncovers
Every report includes the following.
Match Status
Whether the candidate's name matches any director listed in MCA records, or no match is found.
Matching Companies
The companies listed against a matching director record, not just the first result.
Possible Match, Not a Verdict
A name match is flagged as a possible match: a prompt to talk to the candidate, not a final finding.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Directorship Check?
It checks whether a candidate holds a directorship with a company registered with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA). The name on the candidate's PAN card is searched against MCA director records.
Does the candidate need to provide their own DIN?
No. The only required document is the candidate's PAN card. The search runs on the name as it appears on the PAN, so no DIN is needed.
What's the difference between Directorship Check and DIN Verification?
Directorship Check is a name search of MCA director records. It does not fetch or verify a DIN, and it is not the same as a DIN Check or a Cross Directorship Check.
Does this cover shareholders or investors?
No. Investor or shareholder status without a director role is covered by a separate, deeper Company Verification check — not included here.
What if the candidate has no directorships at all?
That's the most common result. When the search finds no matching director record, the report states that no directorship was found.
What happens if the search finds a name match?
It is reported as a possible match, never as Discrepant, because the search has only the candidate's name to go on. The client can discuss it with the candidate and, if needed, collect a notarised affidavit and request a regrade.
