← Full guide: Company Registration Consultant Scam: Verify MCA Filings Yourself

Verify every claimed filing yourself

Verify every claimed filing yourself. Check the cause, evidence to keep, recovery steps, and escalation.

Start here

Name reservation, incorporation, DIN, PAN/TAN, registered office, agreement or later filings should each have a separate status and evidence item.

What applies to this exact problem

1. List what the consultant says is completed

Name reservation, incorporation, DIN, PAN/TAN, registered office, agreement or later filings should each have a separate status and evidence item.

2. Demand the MCA trail

For each filed form, ask for the final form/attachments, SRN, challan and any resubmission communication. A screenshot of a consultant dashboard is not equivalent.

3. Verify entity records on MCA

Check whether the entity exists and whether core master-data details match what you approved.

4. Secure signing credentials

If a DSC or PIN is controlled by someone else, recover control and review what was signed. Do not share OTPs or passwords casually.

5. Escalate based on the actual problem

A filing delay, professional misconduct, consumer-service dispute and suspected financial fraud are different issues. Preserve evidence before choosing a route.

Check these first

  • Record the symptom before repair or reset changes the evidence.
  • Ask for the diagnostic result and the exact warranty or policy clause used for the decision.
  • Compare the measured fault and service history with the written coverage, not a verbal “wear and tear” label.

Fix it in this order

  1. Record the symptom before repair or reset changes the evidence.
  2. Ask for the diagnostic result and the exact warranty or policy clause used for the decision.
  3. Create one source-of-truth sheet for names, PAN/passport, addresses, capital, ownership, objects, and registered office.
  4. Use the current MCA workflow and current forms; do not copy an old screenshot tutorial.
  5. When a form is rejected or resubmission is requested, answer the exact remark and avoid changing unrelated fields.
  6. Verify every generated certificate/registration output after approval.
  7. Keep the complete filing trail, DSC/signing record, acknowledgement, and post-incorporation checklist together.

Build the proof pack

  • MCA SRN/acknowledgement
  • Identity and registered-office evidence
  • Final signed forms/attachments
  • Resubmission remark and correction note

Avoid making the case harder

  • Sharing DSC credentials casually
  • Using inconsistent spellings across forms
  • Assuming name approval equals trademark clearance

How you know it is really fixed

  • The defect or claim has a written technical decision tied to the applicable terms.
  • Repair, replacement, payment, or denial is complete and documented.

If it is still not fixed

  1. MCA helpdesk/ticket route
  2. Professional correction where a filing/legal interpretation is involved
  3. Cybercrime/police route for impersonation or payment scams
