A closer look at how each of our core investigations is planned and carried out.
Matrimonial investigations are professional services used to verify the claims, character, and activities of a prospective partner or a current spouse. These are broadly categorized into Pre-Matrimonial (preventative) and Post-Matrimonial (corrective) investigations.
The goal here is to establish a foundation of trust before "tying the knot." It is especially common in arranged marriages or relationships initiated through matrimonial websites.

We handle cases related to tracing loan defaulters who are currently untraceable and are not paying their loan EMIs. Our team investigates, traces, and submits a detailed report to the concerned bank with verified information regarding the defaulter's whereabouts and status.
Our professional fees for tracing services are charged as per the scope and complexity of the assignment. In case the bank also requires assistance with recovery of funds, the approach and execution process would differ and will be handled on a case to case basis depending upon the nature of the matter. For tracing only assignments, we charge an advance of 50 percent of the mutually agreed professional fees at the time of assignment confirmation.
Kindly let us know your decision and the expected commencement date so that we may allocate and brief our team accordingly.
