What is Criminal Verification?
Criminal verification entails checking a person’s criminal history to assess his or her trustworthiness. It is not practically possible for the HR executives to screen through all the applicants for criminal records. This is a massive task, and requires lot of time, and in depth analysis of the nature of criminal records.
Therefore, in the interim, the criminal records have to be accessed at the state, district, or police station level by physically visiting the specific office and requesting the criminal background verification.

Challenges :
Criminal verification in India is more difficult as there are no Felony or Misdemeanour courts in India like western nations. Instead, India has Police Departments of various states and metros. With each Indian state having its own system of functioning, and absence of computerized database in many cases, as almost all records are filed manually, it becomes difficult to verify criminal records.
If a person has resided in more than one address in the same city or at different cities, separate searches as per concerned police station of the area of residence must be conducted.
Theoretically, to get a complete criminal background check done, all the state, district and local police station records need to be reviewed. This would ensure that even if the employee to be verified has moved locations, the records can be accessed.
