Frequently asked questions

How long does background verification take?

Most checks complete in 2–7 working days: Aadhaar/PAN in 1–2, employment 3–5, education 5–10, criminal 3–7. Bulk orders may take longer; we prioritise by your needs.

Why should employers run background checks on employees?

Running background checks on employees protects you from resume fraud, fake degrees, hidden criminal history and compliance gaps. Verifying a candidate before onboarding is far faster and cheaper than dealing with a bad hire afterwards.

What's included in a pre-employment background check?

A standard pre-employment background verification covers identity (Aadhaar/PAN), education, previous employment and address, plus criminal record screening for sensitive roles. We tailor the pre-employment screening scope to the role and your risk level.

Do you provide verification across India?

Yes. We operate pan-India with partners in 28+ states and major cities — covering both metros and smaller towns.

Is employee background verification mandatory in India?

It isn't universally mandatory, but it's strongly recommended for banking & financial services (RBI guidance), healthcare, educational institutions, companies handling sensitive data, and risk-sensitive roles. We help you meet compliance expectations and reduce liability.

What documents do candidates need to provide?

It depends on the check, but typically identity proof (Aadhaar, PAN, passport), educational certificates, employment/relieving letters and address proof. We share a complete checklist for each verification type.

How much does employee verification cost?

Pricing depends on the number and type of checks, volume (discounts for 10+ candidates) and TAT. We give custom quotes with transparent pricing and no hidden charges.

Can startups and SMEs use your services?

Yes. We offer affordable single-hire verification for startups, flexible scalable packages for SMEs, and bulk hiring support with agency partnerships and priority processing.

What if a verification returns negative findings?

You receive a detailed report and decide — reject, request clarification from the candidate, or accept with caution for minor explainable issues. We provide verified information; the hiring decision stays yours.

Is the verification process confidential?

Yes. We require candidate consent, handle documents securely, make no unauthorised disclosures, and follow DPDP Act 2023 data-privacy protocols with all partners under confidentiality agreements.

Do you help with compliance such as POSH and corporate governance?

BGV supports compliance by documenting due diligence, creating audit trails and reducing liability for known issues. For specific statutory requirements, we recommend confirming with your legal team.
