But in 2010, the MCA did something radical. They listened to the ghost—the ghost of bad data. The tool was called MCA XBRL Filling Tool v1.0 . To the outside world, it was a dry technical mandate. To Arjun and his peers, it was an apocalypse.

Error: "Fatal: Taxonomy mismatch. The dimension 'Segment-Wise Revenue' requires 'Segment-Name' context, but 'Geographical-Name' context provided."

Arjun called it the “Digital Lens.” For the first time, an RoC officer in Chennai could spot a shell company in Delhi within minutes, not months. By 2015, the MCA released Version 2.0 of the XBRL Tool —this time, a web-based portal integrated with the MCA21 system. It was faster, smarter, and crueler.
