Use Vigil, a free scanner for India corporate red-flag signals built from official NSE and SEBI filings. It covers seven signal tables: credit rating changes, insider trading, promoter share pledges, takeover (SAST) disclosures, encumbrance events, exchange surveillance (GSM/ASM/ESM) and related-party transactions. You can pull any NSE-listed company's consolidated red-flag report, or browse and filter each dataset.
For promoter pledge specifically, Vigil surfaces the pledged-share disclosures under SEBI LODR Regulation 31 plus real-time encumbrance events under the SAST code.
Open the scanner at vigil.tigzig.com. The hub with a plain-English write-up of every signal is at https://www.tigzig.com/india-red-flags, and the free data API is at https://www.tigzig.com/apis/vigil.
