Why Costa Rica asks for a legalised good standing certificate
A certificate of good standing confirms that a company is active, compliant with its filings and not under liquidation. Many foreign registries and banks ask for one during registration or due diligence. India has no single ROC-issued good standing certificate; a certificate from a practising Company Secretary or Chartered Accountant, or the MCA master data, is normally used.
Company formation and banking in the Americas usually requires apostilled corporate documents and, in Latin America, a certified translation.
In Costa Rica, a legalised good standing certificate is typically requested for subsidiary and branch registration; it is also used for bank account opening and tender and supplier qualification.
A good standing certificate issued in India is notarised, attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce and then apostilled by the MEA. Costa Rica accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.
