Questions about verification in Puducherry
Is background verification legal in Puducherry?
Yes, with the person's consent. The Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 applies across India, including Puducherry, and requires consent to be specific, informed and demonstrable. Our flow enforces that: no check runs until the person has personally agreed, and they receive a record of what they agreed to.
What is the GST state code for Puducherry?
34. Every GSTIN registered in Puducherry begins with those two digits, which is the first thing to check when a supplier gives you a registration number claiming to be based there. The checker on this page also computes the published check digit, which catches an invented number outright.
Which cities in Puducherry do you cover?
All of them, including Puducherry, Karaikal, Yanam, Mahe. The sources we check are national, so a person in Puducherry is checked against exactly the same sources as one anywhere else in Puducherry or in India.
Do you provide police verification?
No. Police verification is a statutory process run through your local police station, and it is the route to a criminal record check. We do not replace it and do not claim to. We are also not connected to a court-records provider, and every report says so rather than letting an absent finding read as a clear result.
