How to verify an Indian chemical manufacturer before you order

Before a first order, check the supplier on public government records rather than on its website. It takes less time than reading a brochure, and it answers the question that matters: is this a real, registered business, and does it make what it sells?

The short answer. Check the GSTIN on the GST portal, the Importer-Exporter Code on the DGFT website and the company number on the Ministry of Corporate Affairs search. Confirm the legal name matches on all three and on the quotation. Then ask where the works are, and ask for the safety data sheet and a certificate of analysis before you pay.

1. Check the registrations on the government record

Every Indian company that invoices you has a GST number, and every Indian exporter has an Importer-Exporter Code. A private limited company also has a Corporate Identity Number. All three can be looked up on public government portals, free, in a few minutes. Look at the legal name each record shows, and whether the registration is active.

Here are Taskon Industries’ own numbers, and where each one can be checked:

Registration	Taskon Industries	Where a buyer can check it
GSTIN	24AALCT7695Q1Z6	The GST portal’s taxpayer search
Importer-Exporter Code	AALCT7695Q	The DGFT website, under Services, View Any IEC Details
Corporate Identity Number	U23935GJ2025PTC161154	The Ministry of Corporate Affairs company master data search
Udyam registration	UDYAM-GJ-01-0532039	The Udyam registration portal
DPIIT startup recognition	DIPP223377	The Startup India portal

These are the registrations on Taskon’s certificates and in the footer of every page. A buyer does not need to take our word for any of them; that is the point of checking.

2. Make sure the names match everywhere

The legal name on the GST record, the IEC, the company record, the quotation, the invoice and the bank account you are asked to pay should all be the same business. A mismatch is not always fraud, but it is always a question worth asking before money moves.

3. Find out whether they make it or trade it

A manufacturer and a trader can both be honest suppliers. The difference is who controls the batch. Ask for the works address, not only the office address, and ask which products are made there. Taskon Industries manufactures at its own works at F-32 and F-33, Gallops Industrial Park-II, Sarkhej Bavla Road, N.H. 8A, Rajoda, Changodar, Ahmedabad, Gujarat 382213.

4. Ask for the documents before you pay

A supplier who makes the product can send the safety data sheet and tell you what the certificate of analysis for a batch will show. Ask for both at the quotation stage. Taskon sends the complete signed Material Safety Data Sheet with the quotation, and a batch certificate of analysis travels with the consignment. There is a separate page on what a certificate of analysis should show.

5. Put the specification in writing

Most disputes between a buyer and a chemical supplier are not about fraud. They are about a grade that was never written down. State the product, the grade and every parameter you need in the purchase order, and ask the supplier to confirm it in writing before dispatch.

Signs worth a second look

A GST or IEC number that does not return a result, or returns a different name.
A bank account in a name that is not the company’s legal name.
A supplier who will not name a works address, or will not send a safety data sheet before payment.
A price well below every other quotation for the same grade, with no explanation.

None of these proves a problem on its own. Each is worth one direct question before the order.

Not sure which grade suits your process? Describe the application and we will tell you what we would supply, and why.

Questions buyers ask

How to verify an Indian chemical manufacturer before: frequently asked questions

How do I check if a company's GST and IEC details are real?

Search the GSTIN on the GST portal’s taxpayer search, and the IEC on the DGFT website under Services, View Any IEC Details. Both return the registered legal name. Check that it matches the name on the quotation and the invoice.

Is Taskon Industries a genuine manufacturer?

Taskon Industries Private Limited is registered under CIN U23935GJ2025PTC161154, GSTIN 24AALCT7695Q1Z6 and IEC AALCT7695Q, and manufactures at its own works in Changodar, Ahmedabad. Every one of those can be checked on the government record.

What should I ask a chemical supplier before the first order?

Ask for the works address, the safety data sheet, what the certificate of analysis will show, and written confirmation of the grade and every parameter you need.

Does a manufacturer have to be large to be reliable?

No. What makes a supplier reliable is a written specification, documents for every batch and registrations you can check. Size is not a substitute for any of those.
