Parakh — GST + court record check before you give credit

→ How it works

Ten minutes, not ten days.

No account, no software, no form with twenty fields. One number on WhatsApp and a report back before the day ends.

1

You send one GSTIN

Fifteen characters off their invoice or letterhead. That is the whole input — nothing else is needed, and nothing else is asked for.

2

We search the record

The GST register and the published court record, searched by hand under the registered name and the trading name both — because they often differ.

3

You get one page

Same day. Every line is a finding you can go and verify yourself, and the last line is always what the search could not reach.

◆ The report

Four things the record
will tell you.

Public filings answer a narrow set of questions very well. Parakh answers exactly those and says so plainly where the record runs out.

First check is free What it is not

Every line, a public record.

Nothing here is an opinion about the party — it is what has been filed, and what has not.

When people use it

IDENTITY & STRUCTURE

Who you are actually dealing with

The registered legal name against the name on the card, the constitution, and how old the registration really is.

Legal nameConstitutionVintage

FILING BEHAVIOUR

Whether they still file on time

Return history and registration status. A firm that stopped filing in November is telling you something before it tells its suppliers.

Return historyActive / cancelledGaps

LITIGATION & LIABILITY

Who is already in the queue

Cheque-bounce matters, recovery suits and insolvency petitions on the published record — and whose assets are reachable if it comes to that.

₹ When to check

Five moments worth ten minutes.

Every one of these is a decision people make on instinct, days before the money or the goods actually move.

1

A new buyer wants credit

Never dealt with them, ₹8 lakh, 60 days. You cannot pull their CIBIL — the law keeps that for lenders — and if they are a proprietorship, the MCA holds nothing either.

2

A good party turns slow

Two years on time, now twenty days late. Their money is stuck, or the firm is going down. On the phone both say “next week”. In the record they look nothing alike.

3

Before you hand over a territory

One name on the visiting card, another in the register. If it ever reaches court, your agreement runs against the name in the record — not the one you were told.

4

Before advance money leaves

Cheapest rate, immediate stock, payment upfront. All three at once is worth ten minutes. Once the money moves, the way back runs through a court.

5

The money is already stuck

The question left is who you can pursue. Private limited, and the director is usually out of reach. Proprietorship, and the owner is personally on the hook.

Not sure yours is on the list

If a decision turns on whether a firm is who it says it is, the record has something to say. Send the GSTIN and find out — the first one is free.

₹ What it costs

Priced to be checked anyway.

The whole point is that ₹200 never has to be argued for. It should cost less than the phone call you would otherwise make to a friend of a friend.

No score

No rating, no traffic light, no verdict on the party. Credit scoring is reserved by law for registered bureaux.

Fair
questions.

The limits matter as much as the findings. If something below rules it out for you, better to know now.

Is this a credit score?

No — and it never will be. Credit scoring on a business is reserved by law for registered credit bureaux. Parakh reports what is on the public record and leaves the judgement where it belongs: with you.

Why can't I just pull their CIBIL myself?

Because the law keeps commercial bureau data for lenders, not for suppliers extending trade credit. That gap is exactly the one this fills — with the records that are public.

What can the report not tell me?

Bank balances, private ledgers, what they owe anyone else, whether the stock exists, and anything that was never filed. Every report states its own blind spots in a fixed last line — that slot is not optional copy.

Is it legal to look this up?

Yes. The GST register and the court record are both published. Nothing here is scraped from behind a login, bought from a data broker, or obtained without consent.

Do you need anything besides the GSTIN?

No. Fifteen characters off their invoice. If you also know the trading name, it helps us search the court record under both names — but it is not required.

Does the party find out I checked them?

No. This is a search of public records. Nobody is contacted, nothing is filed, and no enquiry is recorded anywhere against their name.

Is this legal advice?

No. It is a search of public records, laid out plainly. What to do about a finding — send the goods, shorten the credit, take security, call a lawyer — is your decision.

प Who runs it

A person, not a portal.

Parakh is run by one person in Kanpur. The report you get was read by a human before it was sent, and you can reply to the same number and ask what a line means.
