FAQs by Investigation Type
Find specific answers about each type of investigation we offer.
Matrimonial Investigation
Our matrimonial investigation includes verification of family background, financial status, education, employment, social reputation, lifestyle habits, previous relationships, criminal records, and character assessment. We provide a comprehensive report with photographic evidence and documented proof.
A standard matrimonial investigation typically takes 7-14 days, depending on the depth of verification required and the geographical locations involved. Urgent cases can be expedited with our fast-track service.
Absolutely not. Our matrimonial investigations are conducted with complete discretion. The subject and their family will never know they are being investigated. We use covert methods that ensure zero detection.
Yes, we specialize in verifying claims made on matrimonial portals like Shaadi.com, BharatMatrimony, and Jeevansathi. Our investigations have found that approximately 30% of profiles contain some degree of misrepresentation regarding income, education, or family status.
We offer flexible packages ranging from basic identity and address verification to comprehensive full-scope investigations. You can choose specific verification components based on your concerns and budget. WhatsApp us to discuss a customized package.
Yes, we investigate proposals from both sides — whether you need to verify a prospective bride or groom. Our team includes both male and female investigators who can discreetly operate in any social environment.
Pre-Matrimonial Investigation
Pre-matrimonial investigation focuses specifically on the period before the marriage decision is finalized. It verifies all claims made during the proposal stage. Matrimonial investigation is a broader term that can include both pre and post-marriage checks.
Yes, with the rise of online matrimonial platforms, pre-matrimonial investigation has become very common. Families are increasingly aware of the risks of trusting unverified profiles. We handle hundreds of such cases annually from families across Mumbai, Goa, and all of India.
You typically need to provide the basic profile information of the prospective match — name, photo, address, and any details shared during the proposal. The more information you provide, the faster and more thorough our investigation can be.
Yes, we investigate NRI proposals extensively, verifying their claims about foreign education, employment, immigration status, marital history abroad, and financial situation. Through our international network, we can verify information in USA, UK, Canada, Australia, and the Middle East.
Common red flags include hidden previous marriages or divorces, exaggerated income claims, fabricated educational qualifications, undisclosed criminal records, concealed medical conditions, substance abuse issues, and significant misrepresentation of family financial status.
Post-Matrimonial Investigation
Common signs include unexplained late-night absences, sudden secrecy about phone and social media, unexplained expenses, personality changes, decreased emotional intimacy, frequent business trips, new social connections they avoid discussing, and gut instinct that something is wrong.

Yes, our cyber investigation team can analyse your spouse's digital footprint including social media activity, dating app usage, online communication patterns, and digital transactions — all within the bounds of Indian cyber law.
Loyalty Test Investigation
Our loyalty tests are designed to be ethical and legal. We create natural social scenarios and observe genuine behaviour — we never use entrapment, coercion, or illegal methods. The goal is to observe how your partner naturally responds to social situations.
We design scenarios based on your specific concerns — social events, workplace interactions, online platform engagement, or everyday-life encounters. Each scenario is customized to fit your partner's personality and habits.
A loyalty test typically takes 1-2 weeks from planning to completion. The actual test scenario may span one or several encounters depending on the approach we design.
If your partner demonstrates loyalty, that is a positive outcome that should give you peace of mind. We document the entire process and provide evidence showing their appropriate behaviour, which can help strengthen your trust.
Yes, we have both experienced male and female operatives available for loyalty test assignments. The operative is carefully selected to match the appropriate age, appearance, and social context for the specific scenario.

You will receive time-stamped photographs, video recordings, GPS location logs, communication evidence within legal bounds, financial records, hotel documentation, and a comprehensive written report with our professional assessment.
Yes, our cyber team can investigate dating app usage including Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, and other platforms. We can determine if your spouse has active profiles and document any concerning interactions through legal investigation methods.

Surveillance Services
We offer mobile surveillance (following subjects), static surveillance (fixed-point observation), counter-surveillance (detecting if you are being watched), technical surveillance, digital surveillance, and aerial surveillance using licensed drones.
Yes, we operate 24/7 surveillance with rotating teams. Night operations use specialised low-light and infrared equipment for clear evidence even in darkness.

Yes, surveillance evidence documented by our professional investigators is regularly accepted by Indian courts. We follow proper evidence protocols including time-stamping and chain-of-custody documentation.

Background Verification
A comprehensive background verification covers identity documents, address history, educational qualifications, employment records, criminal history, financial background, social reputation, and reference checks.
For personal background checks (potential partner, domestic staff, tenant), we conduct verification discreetly without informing the subject. For employment checks, candidate consent is typically required.
Yes, domestic staff verification is one of our specialties. We verify identity, address, previous employment references, police records, and community reputation for maids, cooks, drivers, nannies, and security guards.
Yes, we verify business track record, financial health, litigation history, market reputation, existing debts, property ownership, and any red flags that could make them a risky business partner.
