India Background Checks

Requirements: Name, date of birth, full address, father's name, release form

In India, criminal records are held at the local police station. There are about 15,000 police stations in the country of India. There is not a central computerized criminal database system that can be searched. Therefore, criminal searches are conducted manually at the local police station where the individual resides. If the individual has lived at multiple addresses in India, a search of each station would be required. Please note the price listed of $95 is per police station searched.

Turnaround times vary depending on the police station that is working on the request. Rural areas will have longer turnaround times than the more urban areas. The stations are generally not equipped with fax machines so the process is all done manually, relying on the staff.

A subject inflating their educational accomplishments is one of the most common occurrences found on a subject 's resume or application. CRS checks processes education verifications by contacting educational institutions directly to verify degrees or certifications earned. We verify dates of attendance, graduation date and degree information.

The computerization of records is in progress for some educational institutions in India, however most depend on paper records, with the exception of IIT’s and IIM’s and other newly established institutions.  Paper records can often take long amounts of time to go through, especially if the graduation date is older. The process that is typically followed by most institutions when verifying degree information is for the subject to provide a copy of their degree certificate or marks sheets. These documents are submitted to the Verification Department for verification. Most institutions require that these requests be post mailed to them and can require additional fees. The types of documentation required can differ by each institution.

There are a few differences in the education systems of the US and India. The first is the way that degrees are categorized. In India, Bachelor's degrees are categorized as either B.Com, B.Sc or B.A. B.Com degrees indicate a major in commerce, B.A degrees indicate a major in history and B.Sc degrees indicate a major in physics. This also applies to Masters Degrees.

There are two types of universities in India. One type is residential, offering on-campus classroom style education. The other type of university does not offer classroom education or only offers Master's classes and usually has affiliated schools and colleges. All IIT's and IIM's can be categorized under the first type of university while institutions such as the University of Delhi or University of Mumbai fall under the second type of university listed.

US social security numbers are not helpful when conducting education verifications in India. Dates of births can be useful but the education records are not maintained by this type of identifier. The Father's name of the individual may help to identify the candidate but degree copies, transcripts and/or mark sheets are required.

Requirements: Name, date of birth, employer name and contact information, dates of employment, position held, release form, employee ID

Past employment verification is recommended for all employees. It is approximated that 40% of all resumes and employment applications contain falsified information. Our standard Employment Verification reports the employer's name, subject's title, dates of employment, whether they are eligible for rehire, and we ask for additional comments.

For Employment Verifications in India, we rely on the HR Managers, Personnel Managers, Administrative Officers, HR executives etc. for the verification. There are more employers converting their employment records over to electronic form however, for records older than a year or two, we find that most employers depend on paper records. Due to the time involved in looking up the records it is very important to provide the exact location of the employer and exact position title. For example, there are many businesses with head offices in major cities such as New Delhi or Mumbai that have factories in smaller villages such as Tamilnadu or Karnataka. For the employment verification, we would ask that you supply us with the exact location of where the subject worked as it may be a location outside of the major city. It is also common for individuals to provide position titles based on US standards therefore, it is important to have the subject provide the exact position title they worked while employed in India.
