Primary Government Sources
PATVAAR uses only primary government sources for verification. No third-party data aggregators, credit bureaus, or commercial intelligence providers are used for Trust Score computation.
| Source | What We Verify | Pillar |
|---|---|---|
| MCA21 | Registration status, legal entity type, registered address, director details | P01, P02 |
| Income Tax Dept | 12A exemption status, 80G certification validity, PAN status | P01 |
| ICAI UDIN Portal | UDIN validity for all submitted audited financial statements | P03 |
| MHA FCRA Portal | FCRA registration status, annual returns filing | P01 |
| MCA CSR-1 Portal | CSR-1 registration number and unique identification | P01 |
| ROC (Registrar of Companies) | Section 8 filings, annual returns, AOC-4 | P01, P03 |
What We Do NOT Use
- CIBIL or any credit bureau data
- Media reports or news articles
- Social media presence or follower counts
- Self-reported beneficiary numbers without attestation
- Awards or rankings from private bodies
- Any data purchased from third-party commercial providers
Our principle: If it cannot be verified against a government source or UDIN-certified document, it does not affect your score.
Portal Availability and Caveats
Government portals occasionally experience downtime or data lags. PATVAAR policy:
- Verification is paused until the portal is accessible - we never assume status
- NGOs are notified if their verification is delayed due to portal issues
- If a portal contradicts the submitted document, the NGO is given 7 days to clarify
UDIN note: ICAI occasionally deactivates UDINs at CA request. If your UDIN is deactivated after submission, your financial audit will be marked "Under Review" until a replacement UDIN is provided.
