In major metropolitan and urban areas across India, property owners and employers are statutorily required under state Police Acts and executive magistrate notifications to conduct formal Police Verification of tenants, paying guests (PG), maids, domestic workers, and private drivers. Failure to register tenant credentials constitutes a cognizable offense under Section 188 of the Indian Penal Code (and Section 223 of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita 2023).
