Overview
What an ROC search report is
An ROC search report is an independent professional search of a company's records with the Registrar of Companies.
It covers charges and encumbrances, director history, share capital changes, and annual filing compliance.
Banks routinely require search reports before sanctioning loans; investors and acquirers use them in due diligence.
The report is dated and source-referenced - a snapshot of the company's public record as of a specific date.
Benefits

Lender-grade reports
Banks and investors order search reports before lending or investing. We produce reports that answer their questions - charges, directors, shareholding, compliance status.
Deep record search
MCA records, charge filings, director histories, litigation flags - we pull every relevant record, not just the master data page.
Current and dated
A search report is only useful if it's current. We date-stamp every report and tell you exactly what was checked and when.
Deal timelines respected
Need it for a loan closing or a deal deadline? We prioritise search reports and deliver on your timeline.
Documents

What is a CIN?
Every Private Limited Company gets a unique 21-character Corporate Identification Number from the MCA. It's proof your company legally exists. You'll need it for bank accounts, tax filings, and contracts. We handle the entire application — you just provide the documents above.
Not sure if your documents are ready?
Send us what you have. A ComplyKart expert will review them for free and tell you exactly what's missing — no obligation.
Get Free Document ReviewQuestions Founders ask us about documents
What if my address proof is old?
Utility bills and bank statements must be less than 2 months old. If yours are older, get a fresh copy — the MCA rejects stale proofs.
Do I need original documents?
No. Clear scans or photos work for the entire process. We never ask you to courier originals.
What if directors live in different cities?
That's normal. Each director uploads their own documents separately. Our system keeps everything organised.
I'm outside India. Can I still register a company?
Yes. India allows 100% foreign ownership in most sectors, and the entire process happens online. You need one Indian resident director, and your passport + address proof must be apostilled — we'll guide you through both. NRI founders and foreign investors do this with us regularly.
Check if you're eligible →How long does registration actually take?
7 to 10 working days from the day your documents are verified. Name approval takes 2-3 days, MCA incorporation another 5-7. We track every stage and update you.
Can I start if I'm missing one document?
Yes. Start now with what you have — we begin name reservation and DSC while you arrange the rest. Most founders are missing one proof; it rarely blocks the timeline.
Process
ROC search report process — step by step
You’ll see each stage, what’s pending and what we need from you — so filings don’t bounce back.
Step 1 of 6
Define the purpose of the search
An ROC search independently verifies a company's MCA record — charges, directors, capital, and filing status — before you lend, invest, or sign a big contract.
Inspect the MCA records
We pull the company's master data, charge index, director history, and filing status from MCA records.
Trace charges and encumbrances
Every charge, satisfaction, and modification is traced — undisclosed charges are the biggest risk this search catches.
Map the director history
Director appointments, resignations, and DIN status are mapped over the search period.
Check filing compliance
Annual filings are checked for gaps — chronic non-filing often signals deeper compliance trouble.
Deliver the certified report
The findings go into a dated, signed search report with document references — typically delivered within a few working days of the request.

It depends on the depth - a standard company search typically takes 2-4 working days. Urgent requests for deal closings are prioritised.
MCA master data, charge documents, director appointments and resignations, share capital history, and annual filing status. We also flag litigation references where visible.
Yes - unsatisfied charges, director disqualifications, filing defaults, and frequent director churn all show up in a proper search. That is precisely what the report is for.
It is an independent professional search - more thorough and more credible than a self-download, especially for lending decisions. Banks specifically ask for it.
A search report covers public ROC records. Full due diligence adds contracts, tax, litigation, and operational review - we do both, and we tell you which one you need.
