# ₹100 on us, using your browser: what an Indian court extension is really doing

**What it is** A hearing-reminder extension for Indian lawyers that, in the background, pulls data for its parent site from official court websites.

**Why it took off** The extension itself didn't take off. Its users came from the free tier on the parent site's pricing page. The parent site took off because it turned 300M+ public case records into web pages. Lawyers and litigants search a name and land on the site, which then sells case-tracking alerts from ₹250/month.

**C** **How you could follow it** Don't copy the extension. Take the idea of "public but hard-to-search data, turned into pages that earn search traffic, then sold as alerts" to a different data source or country. If official sites start rate-limiting you, then learn the trick of trading site credits for user browser exits.

C grade: the extension's numbers all come from the parent site, so the extension alone doesn't build anything. What's copyable is the whole data-heavy programmatic SEO business, which is a high bar. Four or five sites using the same playbook already compete in Indian court search, and the browser-node trick still carries store policy risk. Word on the street

2,000 users · rating 5.0 (2)

eCourts India, a Chrome extension from a small company in Noida, India, went from 644 users to 2,000 in three months. That number alone isn't much. It's a side product of a court-data website. What's worth studying is two things: the parent site pulls search traffic from hundreds of millions of case pages, and the extension runs in lawyers' browsers, fetching data from official court sites for the parent site, which pays it ₹100 in monthly credits. Below: how it works, who it competes with, and what you can borrow.

### A lawyer still refreshing a court site at 11 p.m.

India has 5 crore (50M) pending cases and about 20 lakh (2M) lawyers. To check whether your case is listed tomorrow, you have to go to the official ecourts.gov.in. That official system is spread across more than twenty portals, each needs a captcha, and none notify you. The ecourtsindia.com pricing page builds its copy around that moment: a lawyer "still refreshing portals at 11 p.m.," checking the next day's cause list (the daily hearing schedule) for their cases.

The site is run by BILLION INSIGHTS & SERVICES LLP, registered in Noida. Its founder, Rachit Jain, previously ran Youth4work, another site that grew on content and SEO. 2026 Jan 21 he posted on LinkedIn that the site had gone from 4 to 0 monthly visits in about 10 months, reaching 1M visits a month lakh, and that the app had 100k downloads. That post got only 34 reactions.

### What the extension says in the store, and what it actually does

The Chrome Web Store page (11-06) describes a small tool: a badge on the toolbar icon shows how many case updates you haven't read. Click it to see which of your cases are listed, in which court, and at what position. You can search for cases directly. The privacy section is blunt: "The extension cannot access the pages you open, does not run code on any website, and cannot read your browsing history or tabs."

That's true, but incomplete. Looking at the 1.3.0 version's code, the extension requests only two site permissions: its own webapi.ecourtsindia.com, and **\*.ecourts.gov.in** , the official court sites. In the background it gets tasks from the server, uses your browser to send a GET request to the official site, and packages the response to send back. Code comments call the set of extension-equipped browsers the "fleet." They note that 2026-08-18 measured it online and that a third of the fleet's task-claiming capacity was wasted waiting. Another comment says the government site sees the same request rate, because the total rate is locked on the server side. It keeps running while you browse, just more slowly.

The first pricing tier matches the code: "Free + Chrome Extension ₹0, with ₹100 added to your wallet each month while the extension stays active, enough to track about 10 cases." Before the extension is enabled, you have to accept a notice on the site (the notice text wasn't read).

Put the two sides together and it's clear: for lawyers, it's a hearing reminder; for the company, it's a pool of real browsers running on home broadband IPs across India. Official court sites have CAPTCHAs, rate limits and IP bans, and if the company wants to 24-hour watch on every tracked case, it needs a large spread of exit points. It bought those exits with ₹100 in on-site credits, which cost it almost nothing.

### Where users come from: almost all from the parent site

|  | Metric | Sources |
|---|---|---|
| Plugin users | 644 (8-31) → 1k (9-17) → 2k (10-29), and still 11-07 by 2,000 | Chrome Web Store |
| Extension rating | 5.0,2 reviews | Chrome Web Store, 11-06 |
| Launched | 2026-07-31,10-19 updated to 1.3.0 | Chrome Web Store |
| Parent site traffic | About 1M visits per month (founder's claim, 2026-01) | LinkedIn |
| Android App | 100k+ downloads | Google Play,11-06 |
| Official eCourts Services app | About 21.1M Android installs, +7k in the last 100 days | Google Play |

2,000 extension users, against a million-plus monthly visits on the parent site, so conversion is low. Lawyers mostly use phones, the parent site's main product is an Android app, and the extension is just a free tier on the pricing page.

The parent site's traffic comes from **programmatic SEO** . It generates a page for every case, lawyer, judge, and litigant, and claims 30 crore (300M)+ case records and 38.8 lakh lawyer pages. Search "advocate Sharma Delhi High Court" and its `/lawyer/tarun-sharma` page ranks near the top. Lawyers searching their own names and litigants searching their own cases land on the site. Other channels are secondary: the blog has published many "how to look up a CNR number, how to check case status" posts since April 2026, and the FAQ has 90+ questions. Reddit has recommendation threads like "India's Largest Case Records database" that look (my inference) like the team posted them. Legal-tech tool directories list it too.

Revenue comes from its AI Clerk: WhatsApp and email alerts, case-file organization, and Q&A, starting at ₹250/month, billed per use from a wallet. Tracking one case costs ₹5 for 30 days. In a LinkedIn post, the founder claimed "thousands of paying subscribers, doubling every two weeks." That number is unverified, and the post got 3 reactions (2026-07-02). The extension's role is now clear: the paid feature sells "we watch your cases for you." The more it watches, and the faster, the more it needs that pool of browser exits.

### Who it's competing with

- **Official eCourts Services** (built by NIC, launched in 2017): free, the largest by far, but has captchas and no push notifications. eCourtsIndia sells "stop opening the official site."

- **Case-law research libraries** (Indian Kanoon, SCC Online, Manupatra, CaseMine): for finding precedents. They don't tell you whether a district court case is listed tomorrow.

- **Lawyer diary apps** (CaseSync with 10k+ downloads, plus Case Bench, LegalBird, and eCaseDiary types): they also sync with eCourts and send reminders, but lawyers enter cases manually. They also scrape the official sites from servers, which makes them easy to rate-limit.

- **Case-page sites with the same playbook** (casestatus.in, Legistify case-search, courtcasestatus.org, niyam.ai): this is direct competition. Search "Rajesh Kumar vs State of Haryana" and casestatus.in and Legistify rank above ecourtsindia. I couldn't determine who started first or who copied whom.

- **In the Chrome Web Store** : no second extension requests ecourts.gov.in permissions or builds cause lists. The comparable ones have single-digit to low-dozens of users.

In Indian court search, four or five sites are already in a head-to-head fight. The browser-node trick is one nobody has copied yet.

### The risks are on the surface

- In March 2026, a post on r/IndiaLaw titled "ecourtsindia.com looks like a privacy nightmare" said it republishes official court case data in bulk. The privacy concern looks real (the post body wasn't read). The site's FAQ has a "case deletion" section that says privacy requests can be honored "in certain circumstances."

- I don't know whether the Chrome Web Store will treat "the extension sends requests to third-party sites in the background on the developer's behalf" as abuse of user resources. For now it notifies users first and only runs after activation. The store page's privacy note says it doesn't touch your pages, but it doesn't say it makes requests to court sites on the company's behalf.

- If NIC tightens verification or starts banning by behavior, that pool of browser exits stops working, and the cost of the paid features goes up with it.

### If it were you

**Verdict (C)** : there's a good trick to learn here, but copying the extension alone is pointless. Following the whole business is a high bar, and the local spot is already taken. The extension's 2,000 users come from the parent site. What actually makes money is the heavy work of turning hundreds of millions of public records into pages, getting search traffic, and selling alerts. Four or five sites are already fighting for that in Indian courts.

**Who it suits** : anyone who already runs a site or tool that depends on public data and is blocked by the source's captchas or IP bans. The "trade site credits for browser exits" idea transfers directly: the extension requests only the target site's permissions, sends only GETs, injects no code into pages, uses server-side queuing for rate limits, and pays users in site credits or membership days. The other group is small teams starting from scratch on other "public but hard-to-search" data: India's GST, company registration (MCA), vehicle registration (RTO), and land records, or court filings, public procurement, and trademarks and patents in other countries.

**Who it doesn't suit** : anyone who wants to build a single court extension and expects organic installs from the Chrome Web Store (almost nobody searches for this category there); anyone without scraping and data-cleaning skills; and anyone uneasy about compliance risk who handles sensitive personal data but doesn't want to deal with deletion requests.

**How to do it** : start by picking a data source that meets three criteria: it's public, official access is hard, and users check it daily or weekly. Turn each record into an indexable page, with titles written the way users search (person names, company names, case numbers). Charge for "we watch it for you," send alerts over WhatsApp or email, and price it as "a wallet plus a few rupees per use," which suits price-sensitive markets. Add the browser-node trick only after the source starts blocking you. Don't build it from day one.

**How to get users** : programmatic SEO is the main channel, with the data as the content. Supplement it with "how to check X" tutorials, listings in industry tool directories, and answering questions in local legal or tax forums. Put the extension only on the pricing page as a free tier, and give credits on install.

**When to move** : there's no hard deadline. Programmatic SEO rewards getting there early, since the second and third sites for the same data end up fighting you head-to-head in search results. The browser-node trick is safest to use before the Chrome Web Store sets its rules.

**What it means if I got this wrong** : ① Chrome Web Store delists eCourts India, or changes policy to ban background requests to third-party sites on the developer's behalf, then the extension-node route is closed; ② official eCourts sends cease-and-desist letters or blocks sites like ecourtsindia, which means "SEO on public records" doesn't work in Indian courts; ③ the other way around: if extension users grow past 2,000 to 10k within three months, or other data sites start copying the same move, then this is worth more than it looks and worth copying early.

## Why the eCourts India Chrome extension took off

> Research date 2026-11-06. Extension ID lfjkamfolomlgimfhenfcjpipfbndila, developer BILLION INSIGHTS & SERVICES LLP (Noida), website ecourtsindia.com.

### Bottom line

The extension itself didn't "take off" on its own. It's an add-on to ecourtsindia.com, an Indian court-data site. The parent site pulled in traffic through programmatic SEO (hundreds of millions of case, lawyer, and party pages). The founder claims it hit about 4M monthly visits within ~2026-01 months (1M), and the extension's 2,000 users came from the parent site's pricing page. The really unusual part is what the extension does: it's essentially a **fleet of scraping nodes spread across users' browsers** . In the background, users' browsers send requests to the official ecourts.gov.in on eCourtsIndia's behalf, and the free ₹100 monthly credit is the payment for that "labor".

### 1. Data

| Metric | Value | Source |

| Chrome users | 644 (8/31) → 1k (9/17) → 2k (10/29); 11-01 and 11-07 are both 2,000 | Extops curve from the recall card; chromestore library item_snap |

| Scale of the official competitor | eCourts Services (NIC) on Android: ~21.1M installs, 78k ratings; +100k in the last 7 days | googleplay library |

### 2. What the extension actually does (CRX unpacked, 1.3.0)

- Permissions requested: `storage, notifications, alarms, idle`; host permissions are only `https://webapi.ecourtsindia.com/*` and **`https://*.ecourts.gov.in/*`** ; no content scripts at all (which is why the store page can say "it doesn't touch the pages you visit").

- sw.js contains a `RuntimeClient` (`/api/client-runtime/v1`): it first `claims` a task, then `acks` it, then runs `executeUpstreamRequest`. This step only allows HTTPS GET (`validatePreparedRequest`), sent out from the user's own browser. The response body is base64-encoded, sha256 is computed, and it's `completed` back to the server.

- The code comments call it a "fleet": "Measured in production 2026-08-18: claim gaps are bimodal…roughly a third of the fleet's claim capacity was being spent resting here"; "the rate seen by the government is unchanged, because that floor is enforced server-side under a row lock". While the user is online, it keeps "contributing, just slower".

- Activation requires passing a `disclosureVersion` from the website, meaning there's a disclosure on the site that users clicked to accept (the disclosure text itself wasn't found).

- The pricing page matches the code: "Free + Chrome Extension ₹0 — ₹100 free in your wallet every month **while the Chrome Extension is active** — Enough to track about 10 cases" ([ecourtsindia.com/pricing](https://ecourtsindia.com/pricing), Exa cache).

**Bottom line** : this extension has two identities. To users, it's a small tool for court hearing alerts, cause lists, and case update badges. To the company, it's a fleet of nodes that uses Indian residential IPs and real browsers to scrape the official portals. ecourts.gov.in has CAPTCHAs, rate limits, and blocks IPs. eCourtsIndia needs to "24 hours watching every tracked case," so it needs lots of distributed exits. It pays for that capability with ₹100 in on-site credits (costing almost nothing).

### 3. Competitors

| Name | Where | Launched | Scale | How it differs |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| eCourts Services (official NIC) | Android / iOS / web | 2017 | ~21.1M installs on Android (googleplay library) | Official and free, but it has CAPTCHAs, scattered court portals, and no push alerts; eCourtsIndia sells exactly "you don't have to open eCourts anymore" |
| Indian Kanoon / SCC Online / Manupatra / CaseMine | Web | Long-established | Similarweb shows casemine.com as ecourtsindia's top similar site (search snippet, 2026-09) | A case-law research library, not case tracking or real-time district court status |
| CaseSync: eCourts Case Tracker | Android | Not verified | 10k+ downloads (Play page) | Also does eCourts tracking and client alerts, but has no nationwide case SEO library and no browser-side node |
| Case Bench / legaldiary.in, LegalBird, eCaseDiary, Law Tarazoo Case Diary, myKase, Advocate Diary, and similar | Web / Android | Most are 2023–2026 | Each is small (not checked one by one) | Lawyer diary + eCourts sync, SaaS subscription, scraped server-side |
| casestatus.in, Legistify case-search, courtcasestatus.org, niyam.ai | Web | 2025–2026 | Not verified; when searching "Rajesh Kumar vs State of Haryana" in Brave, casestatus.in and Legistify ranked ahead of ecourtsindia | Same playbook: turn public case records into searchable pages, competing head-on for the same SEO traffic |
| Similar items in the Chrome Store | Chrome | — | The chromestore library has no second extension that requests ecourts.gov.in permissions or is named ecourt / cause list; the recall card says only 3–31 similar ones exist | No competitors here |

### 4. Growth tactics (evidence)

1. **Programmatic SEO (main engine, confirmed)** : the site generates a separate page for every lawyer, judge, party, and case. Searching `site:ecourtsindia.com advocate` in Brave returns strings of `/lawyer/<name>` pages ("Find Details & Case history of Advocate X…"). Searching "advocate Sharma Delhi High Court" puts `/lawyer/tarun-sharma?cc=DLHC01&ct=CRL_A` near the top. It claims 30 crore+ (300M+) cases and 38.8 lakh lawyers. The founder previously ran Youth4work.com, another site that grew through content and SEO.

2. **Content / knowledge-base SEO** : blogs.ecourtsindia.com runs a heap of "how to check CNR / case status" posts (from 2026-04 on), plus 90+ FAQ pages, long-tail articles like "full list of Indian legaltech startups," and backlink bait. Medium has search guides too.

3. **Reddit** : r/LegalAdviceIndia has an "India's Largest Case Records database eCourtsIndia.com" post, and r/IndiaLaw has a "real review after 3 months of using the eCourtsIndia API" post (about 2026-03 votes). Both look like the founders or team posted them (inferred, not verified). The same subreddit also has an opposing thread, "ecourtsindia.com looks like a privacy nightmare" (Reddit 403, I only saw the title and search summary).

4. **LinkedIn founder posts** : public posts sharing traffic and paid growth, with very little engagement (3–34 reactions).

5. **Tool directory / review site listings** : LegalTech Atlas, aitoolboard, aiagentideas (with a `?ref=badge-ecourtsindia` badge), FindThatSoftware, YourStory company page, JurisGrid.

6. **Product-suite funneling** : website → Android (100k+) / iOS / Chrome extension / MCP server / API. **The extension's installs come from the free tier on the pricing page** : "Free + Chrome Extension ₹0" is the first tier, and installing it gives ₹100/month.

7. **Instagram** : @ecourtsindia posts reels promoting AI Clerk and MCP (reach not verified).

8. No evidence found of: paid ads (the ad libraries only cover products on the list, so not finding ads doesn't mean none were run), media coverage, or discussion on X (x-radar: 180 posts in the last 0 days).

### 5. Why it took off

- **Strong demand, bad official experience** : India has 5 crore+ pending cases and about 20 lakh lawyers. Official portals are scattered across twenty-odd sites and gated by CAPTCHAs, so lawyers are "refreshing portals at 11 p.m." (the pricing page's own words). Hearing alerts and cause lists are high-frequency needs people use every day.

- **Data is the foundation of the SEO** : turning public court records into hundreds of millions of indexable pages means lawyers and litigants searching their own names or case numbers land on the site. The founder claims it reached a million visits a month in 4 months.

- **The money comes from AI Clerk** : WhatsApp / email alerts, case-file organization, Q&A. Starts at ₹250/month and is metered by quota (tracking 1 cases for 30 days costs ₹5). The founder says it has "thousands of paying subscribers and doubles every two weeks" (unverified).

- **The extension cuts the cost of data freshness** : users' browsers fetch the official sites on its behalf. The more installs, the more cases it can watch, and the more real-time it is, and watching cases is the core paid feature. The ₹100 quota is free to users, and in exchange the company gets fetching bandwidth.

- **The extension's user count is small because it's just an exit** : 2,000 users against the main site's million monthly visits is a very low conversion. Lawyers mostly use phones, and the main site's workhorse is the Android app.

### 6. Differentiation

- To the official sites: no CAPTCHAs, one search box for all courts, push alerts, AI summaries.

- To research databases (SCC, Manupatra): district-court litigation tracking that's free, aimed at junior lawyers and ordinary litigants.

- To lawyer-diary SaaS (CaseSync, Case Bench, etc.): it has a nationwide data base and an SEO traffic entry point, so lawyers don't have to enter their own cases. It also has a mechanism that refreshes via distributed user browsers. Competitors scraping official sites from servers get rate-limited and IP-banned.

- **Is this why it took off?** : the main site took off because of the data base plus programmatic SEO. The distributed browser nodes are the low-cost, reliable plumbing behind the paid "tracking alert" feature. They're a supporting factor, not the reason for acquisition. On the extension itself: its users come entirely from the main site's funnel. What's unique is that it's crowdsourced scraping, "quota in exchange for user browsers," and there's nothing like it in the Chrome Web Store.

### 7. What others can borrow

- **"An exit that trades quota for user browsers"** : when the data source is a government or platform portal with CAPTCHAs, rate limits, or regional blocks, you can have users install an extension that requests host permission only for the target site (GET only, no content script), rewarding them with in-site credits or membership. Server-side requests are queued and throttled centrally. This works for India's GST, MCA, RTO, and land records, and for courts, public procurement, and patent portals in other countries.

- **Public records → programmatic SEO → subscription alerts** : this path can be copied for any data that is "public but hard to search," like court cases, company registrations, trademarks, and tenders.

- Pricing as "₹ wallet + a few rupees per action" works well in price-sensitive markets.

### 8. Visibility / copycats

- **Chatter in small circles** : the founder posted traffic and paid-growth numbers on LinkedIn, with no concrete revenue figures and very little engagement. There are Reddit threads (including a privacy-critical one) and tool-directory listings. No media coverage, and no discussion on X.

- **Copycats** : the same playbook of programmatic case-page sites already exists. casestatus.in, Legistify case-search, courtcasestatus.org, and niyam.ai are competing for position in the same search results (the order they launched in is unverified, so I can't say who copied whom). I haven't seen anyone copy the browser-node trick.

### 9. Still unclear

- How many of the 2,000 extension users installed it "for the ₹100 quota and then forgot about it" is unknown. The paying-subscriber count is just one line from the founder.

- Open risks: whether Chrome Web Store policy will treat "running background requests to third-party sites on the developer's behalf" as misuse of user resources (it's currently disclosed and requires activation), and whether the official eCourts / NIC will move to block it.

- Unknown: the main site's real traffic (I didn't get the Similarweb page 403), the channel mix, and whether it runs any ads.

- The specifics of the Reddit privacy thread and the community's response.
