To identify a genuine and legitimate detective agency in India, you should verify its corporate registration, physical office, and payment methods, as the Government of India does not issue a specific, separate license for detectives.

That is absolutely correct Holding membership in a reputable detective association is essential for establishing your identity as a detective and operating safely.

Code of Ethics and Conduct: Members are required to adhere to a prescribed 'Code of Ethics,' which ensures transparency in operations.
