# What Verified Means on 66 MG Road, and What It Does Not Every property directory in India uses the word verified. Almost none of them say what was checked. The word has been worn down to the point where it signals nothing, which is a problem for a directory that wants to be worth reading. So here is the whole method, including the parts that are weaker than we would like. ## The short version A listing marked Verified means three things were checked before it went live: the registration exists and is current, the person is who the listing says they are, and the specialisations claimed are ones the person has worked in. It means nothing about outcomes. We do not rate anyone, rank anyone, or take money from anyone in the directory. ## What we check, item by item **The credential.** A chartered accountant gives a membership number and we confirm it against ICAI's public register. A broker gives a RERA registration and we look it up on the state authority's list. A lawyer gives a bar enrolment. If the number does not resolve to the name on the application, the listing does not go live. **The identity.** The person on the application is the person who practises. This closes off the common failure where a firm lists a senior name and assigns the work to somebody else. **The claimed specialisation.** An application says what the person wants to be found for. We ask for the work behind the claim. Someone who lists NRI capital gains as a specialism should be able to describe files they have run. **The contact route.** The email and phone work and reach the person. Email and phone stay private. Only the website and LinkedIn links given on the application appear on the public profile. ## What Verified does not mean It is not a warranty. Nobody at 66 MG Road stands behind the quality of anyone's work, and a verified listing is not a promise of an outcome. If a verified professional does poor work on your file, the check we ran did not fail. It measured something else. It is not a rating. There are no stars, no scores and no rankings. A directory that ranks people has to be paid to keep the ranking honest, and being paid is what we are avoiding. It is not paid placement. Listing is free. There is no premium tier, no sponsored slot, and no commission on any engagement that comes out of an introduction. We take nothing from either side. It is not ongoing supervision. The check happens before the listing goes live. A registration that lapses in month eight does not trigger an alert, because we have no live feed from the registries. Re-checking is periodic and by hand. This is the weakest part of the method and we would rather say so than imply a monitoring system we do not run. It is not a background check. We confirm registrations and record. We do not run criminal or credit checks on applicants. ## Why we run a directory at all 66 MG Road manages property in India for owners who live abroad. Doing that work, the same wall kept appearing on behalf of clients: they needed a professional on the ground and had no way to tell one name from another. We kept a list. The directory is that list, opened up. The directory is a companion to the management service and not a route into it. You can browse it, take an introduction, and never speak to us about your property. ## How to use it well Treat a Verified badge as the floor and not the ceiling. It clears the checks anyone can run in an afternoon so you can spend your time on the ones only you can run: whether this person has handled your situation, what they charge, and whether you can reach them from your timezone. The checklists for that work sit in [how to choose a CA who handles NRI returns](/guides/how-to-choose-ca-for-nri-tax-return-india) and [what a broker should prove before you let them sell your flat](/guides/what-a-broker-should-prove-before-selling-your-flat). ## If a listing is wrong Tell us. A registration that has lapsed, a specialism nobody can back up, a contact route that goes nowhere: all of those are reasons to pull a listing, and we pull them. The directory is worth something only while the badge is worth something. Read the full method on the [NRI directory about page](/directoryforNRIs/about) or the [broker directory about page](/directoryforbrokers/about). Nothing in the directory is legal, tax or investment advice. ## FAQ **What does Verified mean on the 66 MG Road directory?** That the credential was confirmed against the issuing register, the person on the listing is the person who practises, and the specialisations claimed are backed by work they described. It is a check on identity and registration, not on quality. **Is a verified professional guaranteed by 66 MG Road?** No. Verification is not a warranty and we guarantee no outcome. We make the introduction. What happens after that is between you and the professional you pick. **Does anyone pay to be listed or ranked higher?** No. Listing is free, there is no premium or sponsored tier, there are no rankings or star ratings, and 66 MG Road takes no commission on any engagement arising from the directory. **How often are listings re-checked?** Periodically and by hand. We have no live feed from the registries, so a registration that lapses after a listing goes live does not trigger an automatic alert. Check the current registration number yourself before you engage anyone. **Do you run background checks on applicants?** No. We confirm professional registrations and working record. Criminal and credit checks are outside what we do. **What happens to my email and phone if I apply to be listed?** They stay private and are used to reach you. Only the website and LinkedIn links given on the application appear on the public profile. --- **Want the property itself looked after?** 66 MG Road starts with a [₹20,000 Property Health Check](/property-health-check): one visit, one written report, no keys and no power of attorney. *66 MG Road newsdesk* ## Sources - ICAI CA Connect, public search of practising members and firms: [https://caconnect.icai.org/search-your-ca](https://caconnect.icai.org/search-your-ca) - MahaRERA, public search of registered real estate agents: [https://maharera.maharashtra.gov.in/agents-search-result](https://maharera.maharashtra.gov.in/agents-search-result) - 66 MG Road, how verification works (NRI directory): [https://66mgroad.com/directoryforNRIs/about](https://66mgroad.com/directoryforNRIs/about) - 66 MG Road, how verification works (broker directory): [https://66mgroad.com/directoryforbrokers/about](https://66mgroad.com/directoryforbrokers/about) ## Compare and cost - [The NRI Property Management Companies in India: A Comparison You Can Check](/guides/best-nri-property-management-companies-india) - [What NRI Property Management Costs in India: The Four Models and What Hides in Each](/guides/nri-property-management-cost-india) - [NoBroker NRI Services Review: What the Pages Promise and What They Leave Out](/guides/nobroker-nri-services-review) --- Source: [https://66mgroad.com/guides/what-verified-means-66mgroad-directory](https://66mgroad.com/guides/what-verified-means-66mgroad-directory) · 66 MG Road.
