Tofler is a business research platform with the aim of enabling people to make informed decisions. For this we are organizing business information and providing it to you in a format that is understandable and saves your time. We intend to provide everything about a business in one place. We want to enable anyone to understand his customers, suppliers, competitors and prospects better. Our vision is to transform the way business information is accessible.

Tofler collects the data from several government websites, company websites and other sources in public domain. All the information you need in one place.

Company's data provided on company page is pulled directly from website of the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, India. So, we would say, it's quite credible!

This information is updated on real time basis when a user lands on a company page. The company page also provides option to update the data immediately. In general, we also keep updating the data continuously.

We are adding hundreds of companies to our database everyday and the database itself is quite large at over 1.4 million companies. As such, we cannot keep all the data up-to-date. However, we do queue companies for updating of their records. If you would like the records of a specific company to be updated on priority, you can click the "update now" link on its page and it should ideally be updated in a few minutes.

First, please check the primary source of the data. Currently, this would usually mean the website of the Ministry of Corporate Affairs of India. Many of the queries we get are because the details are not updated in the Ministry's records. If this is case, you would have to follow the official procedure to have the records updated/rectified with the Ministry. If the data is correct in the Ministry's records and you have tried updating the information on Tofler, please contact us at support@tofler.in.

The information is updated every 3–4 months. It is not updated on real time basis.

No. Tofler is a business research platform for companies and LLPs. We currently do not list information of entities other than companies, LLPs, Directors and LLP's Partners.

You can contact us at support@tofler.in. We are generally very prompt at replying.

The data is a matter of public record under the Companies Act, 1956 as well as the Companies Act, 2013. The registrar of companies also publishes this data in the public domain at its website. The reason this information about companies is published by governments is that the free flow of information about companies is essential for both a fair society (consumers need to know whether a company exists, what its standing is, etc), and a fair market.

No. While we understand some companies and individuals have reservations about being listed, the information on Tofler is all a matter of public record, and is sourced from the official registers, and from published government data with no modifications whatsoever at our end. We aim to be an accurate copy of this and other records, and thus do not remove companies or data that are in the public record.

We can amend data on Tofler only when what is displayed is different to that held on the public record, in which case it will be amended to match this.

No. This information is not shared with anyone and is completely confidential. The company would never know that a user is looking at its information / documents / reports.

The document list we send you is fetched directly from MCA after you place your request. We will provide all those documents that are available in the electronic records of the Government and allowed for public inspection. There would be no difference between documents available at MCA and those provided by Tofler.

1 – 10 minutes depending on length of the list.

During working hours, typical delivery times vary between 30 minutes and 3 hours after you have placed the order and made the payment. In case of very heavy load, the delivery times can sometimes be marginally higher.

Once you have made the payment to buy documents of the company, you would receive an email from Tofler after some time saying that your documents are ready to download. That email will contain a link. You need to click on that link and then access your documents.

You would need Adobe Acrobat Reader to open and view documents of the company. In case of Mac users, the pre-loaded PDF-reader would not work. This is because of some special features used within the PDF documents provided by MCA.

We source company documents from the electronic records of Ministry of Corporate Affairs. Since the facility to file the electronic records started in year 2006, therefore, these records contain documents from 2006 onwards. Therefore, for those companies that were incorporated before 2006, you will generally find its documents from 2006 onwards and not from its inception.

Older financials (up to 2002–2003) for some companies can be available if they have been scanned and uploaded by the Registrar in electronic form. However, this is not common.

However, we will provide all those documents that are available in the electronic records of the Government and allowed for public inspection.

However, you can usually find the basic revenue and profit figures in the Directors' Report. This report is usually available as an attachment to the Balance Sheet.

To make sure that you receive the updated document list containing all recent filings. Once you place the order to see the document list of a company, we fetch the updated document list directly from government records and email it to you. It takes a few minutes. If we preload these document lists of companies to give you instant access to them, we may miss the recent filings done by the company.
