[ File 02 / The Agency ]

We don’t guess.
We verify.

Founded in 2009 by a veteran of Military Intelligence, Tehkikaat was built on a simple discipline: evidence first, opinion never. Our investigators come from intelligence, forensic audit and cyber security backgrounds — and every case, from a matrimonial verification to a nine-figure corporate fraud, is run with the same rigour.

We operate strictly within Indian law, which is exactly why our reports survive courtrooms. No phone tapping, no hacking, no shortcuts — just patient, professional investigation.

“We received a proposal that looked perfect on paper. Tehkikaat's report showed the groom's 'family business' was two years of unpaid loans and a court case. It was painful, but they saved my daughter's life from ruin. Forever grateful to Nandita ma'am and her team.”

Common questions.

Q1Is hiring a private detective legal in India? +

Yes. Engaging a private investigation agency is completely legal in India. What matters is how the investigation is conducted — we work strictly within the law: no phone tapping, no trespass, no hacking, no impersonation of public officials. Everything we gather comes from lawful observation, public records and open sources, which is also why our evidence holds up in court.

Q2Will my identity and case remain confidential? +

Absolutely. Confidentiality is the foundation of this profession. Your case is known only to the assigned team, files are stored in an encrypted case-management system, and we sign a non-disclosure agreement before any engagement. We never disclose client identities — even the fact that you consulted us stays between us.

Q3How much does an investigation cost? +

Fees depend on the type of case, its complexity, location and the resources required. Simple verifications start at a modest fixed fee, while surveillance operations are billed per day of deployment. After your free initial consultation we provide a written quotation with no hidden charges — and we will tell you honestly if we believe a case is not worth pursuing.

Q4How long does a typical case take? +

Background and matrimonial verifications typically close in 7–14 days. Surveillance assignments run as long as the client mandates, usually 1–4 weeks. Complex corporate fraud or tracing cases can take 4–8 weeks. You receive interim updates throughout, and we never stretch a case a day longer than it needs.
