Charges GOA DETECTIVE AGENCY

Detective Charges

For sometime now we have been getting a lot of calls on our charges, at the outset it’s a little difficult for our investigation clients to determine our prices. We have been getting a lot of enquiries about our pre matrimonial services as well, to give you an idea our standard pre-matrimonial services start from 40,000/- onwards. Ofcourse it goes without saying that the more information that is required the higher our charges. Our investigation clients in Goa, keep asking what is covered in our rates, again we urge our clients to actually visit the services page to understand the subject before contacting us.

Why Most Detective Agencies Do Not Display Charges

There is not one single detective agency in Goa that will state its charges. Most of the detective agencies in Goa will not advertise their service charges as they like to assess the paying capacity of the client before they quote their charges.

Even though there is a limitation to this theory of quoting for private investigations in Goa due to the nature of the assignment, external factors, experience of the private investigator, speed, etc; below is a rough idea of our charges which shall help you understand what you will be looking to spend on your assignment.

Important Advice Before Hiring a Detective Agency

Investigate the Investigator

Firstly, our advice is to "Investigate the Investigator". Private Investigators and Detective Agencies in Goa commence and vanish within months cheating the gullible looking for low price Agencies. There are 100's of complaints with many Police Stations, Courts, etc on the same whereas most of the cheated actually do not opt to go to the Police or approach the courts. As narrated above, there are Detective Agencies and agents having fancy names and websites but do not even have an office, sans any experience or capabilities and vanish into thin air after taking small amounts from many people.

Thus, besides other parameters we advice you to at least find out:

  • The background of the Agency
  • Business standing and reputation
  • How long the Agency has been operating
  • Whether the office exists physically
  • Experience and capabilities of investigators

Hidden Charges & Fraud Awareness

Secondly, and ironically we must bring to your notice that you would have seen it for yourselves that none of the websites you have already seen or can check back now give even a quote of their professional investigation charges.

During the course or before giving reports they come out with many hidden charges. Sadly, not satisfied with what they have extracted from you, many case of blackmailing & extortion have been reported and then we advice you to be very careful in selecting an Agency. Our charges, expenses and explanations shows our transparency and honesty which you will appreciate.

How Our Charges Are Calculated

The Charges on executing a case primarily depend on:

  • Quality of manpower required
  • Quantum of manpower deployment
  • Resources and equipment required
  • Time required on assignment
  • Geographical factors
  • Political and religious sensitivity
  • Expense and risk related factors

There is generally no thumb rule charges towards an assignment as these vary from case to case. Moreover, the longer the period of assignment, the less the charges, the shorter the period of assignment, the higher the charges.

Sample Surveillance & Shadowing Charges

  • 7 Days Assignment – Rs.6,000/- per day
  • More than 15 Days – Rs.5,500/- per day
  • More than 30 Days – Rs.5,000/- per day
  • 5 Days Assignment – Rs.8,000/- per day
  • 2 to 3 Days Assignment – Rs.10,000/- per day
  • Single Day Assignment – Rs.20,000/- per day

Short Assignments result in under deployment of the agents and thus losses to the Agency. These charges are 25% higher in expensive cities like Mumbai & Delhi.

  • No hidden charges
