MCA and MCA21
Creates and regulates companies and LLPs; receives statutory filings and maintains the corporate registry.
Open authorityGOVERNMENT BUSINESS SERVICE MAP
The sites are separate because the underlying powers, statutes, data, decisions and appeal mechanisms are separate. This gateway joins the sequence without pretending to become each regulator.
DESIGN RULE
A gateway may search, explain, remember progress and carry consented data through authorised integrations. The legal decision, official record and grievance route remain with the competent authority.
MCA is not one office. Thirteen bodies sit under it, and which one you need depends entirely on the problem — a competition filing, an insolvency, an audit-quality complaint and an unclaimed dividend go to four different places. The national portal groups these as attached offices, statutory bodies, tribunals and institutions.
