## How the pages relate
- A /company or /llp page is the legal entity (CIN or LLPIN): status on the register, what it does, capital, registered office, GSTINs, court cases.
- A /gst page is ONE state registration of a business (a GSTIN). The legal entity behind it is the linked /company page, or the /pan page for businesses without an MCA record. One PAN can hold a GSTIN in every state.
- A /pan page lists every GSTIN under one PAN (companies, firms, trusts; individuals' PAN pages are not indexed).
- A /director/{DIN} page is one person (a DIN identifies a person): directorships and any MCA disqualification-list entries.
- A /person/{name} page groups every directorship, officer role, LLP partnership and GST proprietorship filed under one NAME. A name is not a person: the same name can belong to several people, so never treat a /person page as one individual.
- An /msme/{name}-{id} page is one Udyam (or older Udyog Aadhaar) registered MSME (micro, small or medium enterprise): name, address, district, registration date and NIC activities, plus its Google Maps listing (phone, opening hours, website) when visitors have confirm
