What changes the fee
Number of checks
Family, job, income, character and marital history are separate checks. More checks mean more field days.
Cities involved
Work outside Chennai adds travel. Several cities, or a person living abroad, cost more than one locality.
Urgency
A report needed in a few days needs more investigators working at the same time.
Days of surveillance
Observation is priced by the day, so a longer watch costs more.
Report depth
Photos, documents and a detailed written summary take more time than a short brief.
Included in every quote
- Confidential first consultation (free for clients in India)
- Written scope and fee before work starts
- Field work by our investigators
- Travel within the cities agreed in your quote
- A clear written report of the findings
- Your details kept confidential throughout
What decides the fee for pre-matrimonial verification
The fee depends on what you need checked. A focused check of one person in one city needs less work. The fee rises with:
- More checks, such as family, job, income, character and earlier marriages
- More than one city, or a person living abroad
- An urgent report needed in a few days
- A detailed report with photographs and documents
