Background verification in India breaks across three axes — turnaround time, depth of signal (especially court records + EPFO), and DPDP-aligned audit. Deepvue's **BGV chain** is built around all three, configurable per role tier. BGV report in days, not weeks 01 · Turnaround Manual BGV — emailed forms, follow-ups, college calls — takes 2-4 weeks. Parallel API chains return verified results in days, with court records and education async-pulled. Identity + EPFO + bank fire in parallel Court records + education pulled async Webhook updates as each signal lands Catch fakes that pass the resume 02 · Depth of signal Fake employment claims, fabricated tenures, fraudulent degrees, undisclosed criminal cases — each leaves a signature in a registry your BGV stack should be querying. EPFO/UAN employment history (verified tenures) Education record verification Court records + FIR signal lookup Per-candidate immutable trail 03 · DPDP audit Candidates have privacy rights. When a candidate disputes a rejection or your DPO asks for the data-handling trail, you have a timestamped, exportable record per candidate. Per-candidate consent + decision log Source-of-data + check rationale captured Data deletion / export on candidate request Manual BGV with email-and-phone follow-ups takes 2-4 weeks per candidate and misses signals like undisclosed court cases. Deepvue's parallel chain returns verified results in days, with court records and education async-pulled. ## Why manual BGV breaks down at scale. If your funnel is leaking 25%+ between "Apply" and "Approved" — or your audit team is rebuilding decision history from logs — here's where the breakage usually starts. Stitched-vendor onboarding Sequential KYC → face → bank calls, latency stacks PAN parsed as a string, not source-validated No bank ownership check — mule accounts slip through Audit trail across four systems, never reconstructable Deepvue onboarding chain Parallel KYC + face + bank + screening, single response PAN, GST, CIN validated against source registries Penny-drop bank ownership match before payout DPDP + RBI-aligned audit trail, single API export BGV reports stuck at 2-4 week turnarounds? 15-min walkthrough comparing your current BGV flow against a parallel decisioning chain. No commitment. [Talk to a Specialist](/contact/) [Request a Demo](/demo/) ## The BGV chain — six primitives, one call. Every primitive a candidate-BGV chain needs, wired to call in parallel — configurable per role tier. Identity verification DigiLocker pull (Aadhaar + PAN), name-match, photo cross-reference. The starting primitive for any BGV report. [Explore](/digilocker-api/) EPFO / UAN history UAN-based employment history pull. Verified tenures, employer names, contribution months. Catches fabricated experience claims. [Explore](/uan-verification-api/) Court records + FIR Structured court record search and FIR signal lookup on the candidate. Configurable per role-tier risk. [Explore](/court-record-check-api/) Education verification Education record verification — degree, institution, year. Catches fraudulent academic claims. [Explore](/digilocker-api/) Address verification Field-officer-style address checks where applicable. Document-based or physical, depending on role tier. [Explore](/digilocker-api/) Salary-account match Penny-drop ownership match on the candidate's salary account before payroll wires. Stops payroll-fraud at day one. [Explore](/bank-account-verification-api/) ## How the BGV chain runs. From a candidate consenting to BGV to a verified report ready for the offer letter. 01 Candidate consents Your HR system sends the candidate a DPDP-aligned consent flow. PAN, Aadhaar, UAN, education, address inputs captured. 02 Identity + EPFO + bank fire DigiLocker, EPFO/UAN employment history, salary-account ownership — all parallel, sub-30-second. 03 Court + education async Court records + education verification pulled async (data sources are slower). Webhook updates as each lands. 04 Report compiled, audit logged CLEAR / DISCREPANCY / FAIL with full check history. DPDP-aligned audit trail. HR makes the offer or escalates. End-to-end median: **days, not weeks**. Compare against your current BGV flow side-by-side in a 15-min walkthrough. BGV reports in days, not weeks. Test the full chain in our sandbox — identity, EPFO, court, education, address, salary-account — before you wire anything in.

The frameworks BGV chains get challenged on — DPDP, candidate consent, IT Act, sectoral hiring rules — and which Deepvue capabilities map to each. DPDP DPDP Act, 2023 Digital Personal Data Protection. Consent, purpose limitation, data-fiduciary duties for all onboarded customers. RBI RBI Master Direction on KYC Defines acceptable KYC flows for Indian users. Aadhaar e-KYC, OVDs, video-KYC, periodic refresh. AML PMLA, 2002 Prevention of Money Laundering Act. Mandates customer due diligence, record-keeping, suspicious-transaction reporting for regulated entities. FATF FATF Recommendations R10 (CDD), R12 (PEPs), R16 (Travel Rule). Applies to financial institutions via home regulator. CONSUMER Consumer Protection Rules Marketplace + e-commerce: seller-due-diligence + grievance officer + return/refund disclosure obligations. IT ACT IT Act, 2000 (Sec 43A + 79) Reasonable security practices + intermediary safe harbour. Documented onboarding strengthens both. SCREENING UN, OFAC, EU sanctions Sanctions list screening at onboarding and monitored throughout the customer lifecycle. SCREENING PEP & Adverse Media Politically Exposed Persons screening per FATF R12. Adverse media flags reputational risk. This map is informational, not legal advice. Your specific licensing posture (NBFC, Bank, marketplace, gig aggregator) layers on top — Deepvue's audit trail is built to support all of them. ## Where BGV funnels break down — and where Deepvue plugs the holes. From candidate consent to clean BGV report — funnels usually break in one of these five places. Where the funnel breaks Step 1 — Manual EPFO follow-up takes 1-2 weeks Step 2 — Court records pulled by hand, signal incomplete Step 3 — Education calls take days, often unanswered Step 4 — Salary-account mismatch caught only at month-1 payroll Step 5 — Candidate dispute, you have an email thread, not a trail Deepvue's parallel + async chain returns Steps 1-4 in **days, not weeks**. Step 5 is a single API call that returns the **DPDP-aligned audit trail** for any candidate, anytime — defendable under privacy queries. Show me the BGV report my legal team will accept. 15-min walkthrough — bring a sample candidate profile, leave with a side-by-side comparison vs. your current BGV flow.

[Talk to a Specialist](/contact/) [Request a Demo](/demo/) ## One workflow, configured per role tier. Five role configurations — same chain, different primitive depth per tier. Full-time hire ID + EPFO + court + education Standard chain: identity, EPFO history, court records, education, address, salary-account match. Default DPDP audit. Contract hire Lighter, faster chain Identity + court records + bank, education optional. Tuned for short-tenure or specialist contractors. Sensitive role \+ Director-style depth Standard chain plus sanctions screening, deeper court history, address physical-verify. For finance, compliance, child-safety roles. Gig worker High-volume + safety Identity, face liveness, bank ownership, court records — high-volume wholesale pricing. For driver, delivery, services platforms. Executive Full + reputation + media Full BGV plus adverse-media + PEP + sanctions + LinkedIn / professional-history sanity. Reviewed report, not auto-decide. ## Built for DPDP-aligned BGV. DPDP candidate consent, IT Act sensitive-data rules, sectoral hiring obligations — overlapping requirements per role. Deepvue's audit trail satisfies all of them out of the box. BGV commitments DPDP-aligned consent capture per candidate Per-candidate audit trail with deletion-on-request Source data via authorized partner integrations Paperwork & controls SOC 2 Type II controls (in audit) ISO 27001 aligned GDPR-compatible DPA available Sub-processor list under MSA Deepvue is not a regulator and does not represent itself as RBI, SEBI, UIDAI, or any government authority. HR and BGV teams retain full responsibility for hiring decisions and adverse-action communication to candidates. Deepvue provides the verification infrastructure and structured audit trail; the hiring decision is yours. Applicable regulations All API interactions are protected using encryption, role-based access controls, and audit logging. ## Volume pricing per BGV report. BGV bundles tier with monthly hire volume. Pay per chained report, not per individual check. INR-first invoicing. Pricing scales with monthly hires verifiedprimitives per decision (3, 5, 7+)checks per BGV (3, 5, 7+)dedicated SLA & support tierINR-first, USD on request Most HR teams running 500-50k BGV reports per month land in a **per-report** range materially under stitching individual verification vendors. No per-source surcharges. [Talk to a Specialist](/contact/) [Request a Demo](/demo/) ## Common questions from compliance and product leads. Real questions, asked in evaluation calls. If yours isn't here, book a 15-min walkthrough — we'll answer it live. We already use a BGV agency. Why switch to an API chain? Three reasons compound: turnaround (days vs. weeks), cost (one API vs. agency markup), and audit (immutable per-candidate trail vs. emailed PDF). Most teams pilot Deepvue on a hire cohort for 4-6 weeks side-by-side with their agency before consolidating. Can we tier the chain by role? Yes. Run a thin chain for contract / gig roles (identity + court + bank) and a deeper chain for sensitive / executive roles (+ adverse media, sanctions, physical address). Thresholds per role tier are configurable. How is candidate consent captured? DPDP-aligned consent flow embedded in your ATS / HRIS. Candidate sees what data will be checked, by whom, for what purpose, with retention period. Withdrawal supported per DPDP rules. Where is candidate data stored? Indian servers by default. Storage arrangements are negotiated per MSA, with defaults aligned to DPDP and applicable sector regulations. What about candidate disputes on a verification finding? Per-check trail with source data, timestamp, and rationale lets you defend any finding to the candidate. Adverse-action communication is your responsibility; Deepvue provides the audit substrate. How long does integration take? Sandbox in a day. Production / ATS-wired inside 1-2 weeks for most HR teams. The longest part is usually your ATS integration, not our API. ## How does Deepvue's "Hire an employee" workflow compare to a manual BGV agency? **Deepvue**'s BGV chain runs identity (DigiLocker), EPFO/UAN employment history, court records + FIR signal lookup, education record verification, address verification, and salary-account ownership match in one API call — parallel where possible, async-webhook for slow sources. Manual BGV agencies take 2-4 weeks per candidate; the API chain returns verified results in days. Tiered per role (full-time, contract, sensitive, gig, executive). DPDP-aligned per-candidate audit trail with deletion-on-request. ## Run a clean BGV report in days, not weeks. India-Stack-native. DPDP-aligned. One workflow, every role tier.
