Just go to the website of the company, where the company is hosting quarterly shareholding pattern else search at Exchange's site, where Exchange is also hosting the details of quarterly shareholding pattern as submitted by the company. On MCA site, take the copy of Annual return, if the list of shareholder attached with that.

If you're unable to access the top 100 shareholders' list of a listed company through MCA, BSE, or the company’s website, here are the alternate and legal options you can try:
✅ 1. Check Stock Exchanges (BSE/NSE) – But Use Correct Path
While exchanges do not publish names of all shareholders, they do publish category-wise shareholding patterns quarterly under Regulation 31 of SEBI (LODR) Regulations.
How to Access:
Go to BSE India or NSE India.
Search for the company.
Under “Corporate Filings” or “Shareholding Pattern”, download the latest filings.
Look for disclosures like:
Statement showing shareholding pattern (Reg. 31)
Statement of Significant Beneficial Owners (Reg. 30)
⚠️ These documents show promoters, FII, DII, public, and sometimes top 10 shareholders only — not top 100.
✅ 2. Annual Return (MGT-7) via MCA – Correct Form, Correct Year
You mentioned that you tried Form 20B, but after 2014, Form MGT-7 replaced 20B under the Companies Act, 2013.
Steps:
Go to MCA portal.
Search the company by name or CIN.
Access public documents (after payment).
Download the company’s Annual Return (MGT-7) — check for the latest year available.
In MGT-7, Annexure IV typically lists the shareholders holding more than 1%, sometimes top 50 or 100, depending on the filing.
⚠️ If the company didn’t attach a full shareholder list, they may be in non-compliance.
✅ 3. RTI (For PSU Companies Only)
If the company is a Public Sector Undertaking (PSU) or government-owned, you can file an RTI application to the relevant ministry or department requesting shareholder details.
✅ 4. SEBI SCORES Complaint
If the company or its RTA refuses to give access to publicly filed information:
File a complaint via SEBI SCORES portal: https://scores.gov.in/
Attach details of your efforts and rejection.
✅ 5. Registrar and Share Transfer Agent (RTA)
While they generally do not provide shareholder data to the public, if you have legal grounds (e.g., you are a shareholder, or you have a court/tribunal interest), you may formally request it with a justification.
Some common RTAs:
Link Intime
KFin Technologies
Computech Sharecap
Bigshare Services
❌ What You Cannot Do:
You cannot get full shareholder data (especially PANs or addresses) unless you are the company or an authorised entity.
Top 100 shareholder list is not a mandatory disclosure under SEBI or Companies Act — only promoters and 1%+ holders are disclosed publicly.
Summary:
Source What You Can Get
MCA (MGT-7) >1% holders or Annexure with top holders
BSE/NSE Promoter, FII/DII, public, top 10 holders
SEBI SCORES Redressal for non-disclosure
RTI For PSUs only
RTA Only with valid legal purpose
