Recruiting Agent vs Unauthorised Sub-Agent: Know the Difference

14 July 2026 · Compliance

A licensed Recruiting Agent (RA), like us, operates under an MEA licence that is publicly verifiable on emigrate.gov.in. Indian law restricts RAs from employing sub-agents to independently collect fees or make promises on their behalf.

This matters because a common fraud pattern involves someone claiming to represent a licensed agency — using its name, sometimes even its licence number — without being formally authorised to collect payment or make commitments.

If you're dealing with anyone claiming to represent us, verify directly through our official contact channels before paying anything. Nobody representing us is authorised to collect cash or promise a guaranteed visa or job.
