ICSI Verification is the process of confirming whether a Company Secretary (CS) is a registered and active member of the Institute of Company Secretaries of India (ICSI) — a statutory body established under the Company Secretaries Act, 1980. Company Secretaries are key governance professionals responsible for corporate compliance, board advisory, and regulatory filings with bodies such as MCA, SEBI, and RBI.
Decentro’s ICSI Verification API helps businesses instantly validate a CS professional’s credentials by querying their unique ICSI membership number against the official ICSI registry — returning their name, membership type, and active status in real time, without any manual effort or document uploads.
Decentro’s ICSI Verification API connects directly to the official ICSI member registry to return verified professional credentials in under 2 seconds — no document uploads, no manual review, no OCR. Unlike generic professional verification tools that rely on scraped or cached data, our API queries the source registry in real time, returning the member’s full name, registration number, membership grade (ACS or FCS), and regional affiliation in a single structured response. Built within Decentro’s unified KYC framework, it integrates seamlessly alongside other professional and identity verification APIs for end-to-end onboarding workflows.
