Our Intelligence  and investigation charges vary based on factors like case complexity, experience, and the type of service, with pricing models including hourly rates, flat fees, and daily rates. Hourly rates typically range from around ₹4,500 to ₹15,000, while flat fees are common for standard services like background checks. More complex or time-intensive cases like surveillance can have daily rates ranging from ₹15,000 to ₹30,000 or more, and clients should also anticipate potential extra expenses for travel, equipment, and other incidentals. 

Common pricing models

• Hourly rates: Charged per hour, suitable for ongoing or uncertain-duration tasks like surveillance. Hourly rates can range from approximately ₹4,500 to ₹15,000 per hour, depending on the Suchna Mitra's (detective) , experience and the case's complexity.

• Flat fees: A set price for a defined service, common for simpler tasks like background checks. The total cost is clear upfront, but the fee may be higher than the actual time spent if the investigation is completed quickly.

• Daily rates: A set price for each day the investigation is active. For example, surveillance might be charged at a daily rate, which can range from ₹15,000 to ₹30,000 or more, depending on the client and the case. 

Factors that influence the cost

• Case complexity and type: Simple cases are less expensive than complex ones, such as corporate fraud or missing persons investigations. Matrimonial or pre-marital investigations often have a higher price tag due to their sensitivity and specific requirements.

• Experience and expertise: Corporation with more years of successful investigations and highly skilled, licensed, or ex-police personnel can charge higher rates.

• Time and duration: Longer investigations can sometimes have a lower daily rate due to volume discounts.

• Location: Costs are generally higher in major metropolitan areas.

• Technology and resources: The use of advanced technology, such as specialized equipment, can increase the overall cost.

• Additional expenses: Our Clients may be responsible for costs beyond the Suchna Mitra's (detective) fee, such as travel, lodging, and meals. Some agencies require a retainer, which is an upfront payment that gets deducted from the final bill. 

• Specialized Services: Additional services like digital forensics, technical surveillance, or expert analysis may incur extra charges, ranging from₹45,000 to ₹130,000  or more depending on the service.

• Travel and Expenses: If the investigation involves significant travel, accommodation, or other logistical support, the client is generally responsible for covering these costs. Travel fees can vary widely depending on the location and length of the investigation.
