# Milne Se Pehle — Complete Knowledge Base ## What is Milne Se Pehle? Milne Se Pehle (meaning "Before We Meet") is India's first pre-matrimonial self-verification platform. It allows individuals to verify their own identity, income, criminal records, and financial health using official government sources, then share a tamper-proof digital certificate with a potential marriage partner or their family. The platform replaces detective agencies — which are expensive, secretive, and relationship-damaging — with transparent, consent-based verification that the individual controls. Operated by Bina AI Private Limited, Pune, India. Founded in 2026. --- ## The Problem India has 62,000+ reported matrimony fraud cases per year. Despite this: - 77% of Indians have encountered fake profiles on matrimony platforms - Families spend ₹5-30 lakh on wedding venues but nothing on verifying the person - Detective agencies cost ₹20,000-₹1,00,000+ and feel invasive - No standardized, government-backed verification existed for marriage decisions --- ## How It Works 1. **Free eligibility check**: User enters their name and phone number. OTP confirms identity. The system checks what government records exist — Aadhaar, ITR, court records, CIBIL. Results visible before payment. 2. **Get your certificate**: User chooses a plan and pays. Verification runs directly from official government sources — no agents, no phone calls. Delivered in 1 to 14 days depending on plan. Certificate is valid for life. 3. **Share yours, ask for theirs**: User enters the recipient's phone number. Recipient opens the certificate using OTP. The certificate holder can revoke access anytime. When both parties share, the conversation begins with facts. --- ## Verification Plans ### Parichay (Basic) — ₹1,499 + GST - Aadhaar + PAN identity verification - Criminal record check - FIR records check - Turnaround: 1 to 3 days ### Vishwas (Honest) — ₹9,999 + GST Everything in Parichay, plus: - ITR income verification (3 years) - Full CIBIL credit report and active loans - Employment verification - Education background check (university level) - Social media presence review - Turnaround: 5 to 8 days ### Bandhan (Transparent) — ₹19,999 + GST Everything in Vishwas, plus: - Physical address verification (visited) - One parent verification - Two certificates issued (individual + parent) - Turnaround: 8 to 14 days ### Free Eligibility Check - Runs in under 2 minutes - Shows what records exist before any payment - No account required --- ## Data Sources All data comes directly from official Indian government sources: - **UIDAI** — Aadhaar identity verification via DigiLocker - **Income Tax Department** — ITR income records - **eCourts** — Criminal and FIR records across 3,300+ districts - **CIBIL / CRIF** — Credit score and active loans - **EPFO** — Employment history - **DigiLocker** — Official document repository - **NTA** — Education records - **PAN database** — PAN card verification No aggregators. No manual calls. No guesswork. --- ## Privacy and Security - Aadhaar XML and full Aadhaar number are never stored. Only verified name, date of birth, and last 4 digits are extracted, then source data is discarded. - All data is encrypted with AES-256 at rest. - Certificates are shared only with explicit consent. The holder controls who sees it. - Access can be revoked anytime by the certificate holder. - The platform is not a spy tool. It requires the subject's own OTP to initiate verification. --- ## Legal and Ethical Position Self-verification for matrimonial purposes is fully legal in India. The individual verifies their own records with their own consent. Milne Se Pehle is not a background check agency — it is a self-attestation platform backed by government records. Wanting to verify a partner before marriage is not suspicion. Companies verify before hiring. Banks verify before lending. This is a lifelong decision. --- ## Refund Policy Verification requests are initiated automatically once payment is confirmed. Since the process begins immediately, refunds are not offered. Contact support@milnesepehle.in for concerns. --- ## Frequently Asked Questions **Is it wrong to want to verify someone before marriage?** No. Companies verify before hiring. Banks verify before lending. Wanting clarity before a lifelong commitment is not suspicion — it is care. **Will the other person know I checked them?** Only if you share a certificate with them. Viewing a certificate requires the holder's OTP, so the holder always knows when their certificate is viewed. **Can I check someone else without their knowledge?** No. Milne Se Pehle is a self-verification platform. The person being verified must initiate and consent to their own verification using their own Aadhaar OTP. **Is my Aadhaar data safe?** Aadhaar XML and full Aadhaar number are never stored. Only name, date of birth, and last 4 digits are retained after verification. **How long does verification take?** Parichay: 1 to 3 days. Vishwas: 5 to 8 days. Bandhan: 8 to 14 days. Free eligibility check: under 2 minutes. **Can I upgrade my plan later?** Yes. Pay only the difference between plans. The certificate updates automatically with the new checks. **Can I get verified without DigiLocker?** Yes. Manual Aadhaar KYC is available via partner Sandbox.in. The verification outcome is identical to DigiLocker-based verification. **What is the difference between Milne Se Pehle and a detective agency?** Detective agencies investigate without the subject's knowledge, costing ₹20,000 to ₹1,00,000+, and damage trust if discovered. Milne Se Pehle is transparent — the person verifies themselves and shares with pride. It costs 90-98% less and strengthens rather than damages the relationship. --- ## Key Terminology **Pre-matrimonial verification**: The process of confirming key facts about a potential marriage partner — identity, income, criminal history, financial health, education — before marriage. **Self-verification**: The individual verifies their own identity and records with their own consent, then shares the result. Different from third-party investigation. **Verification certificate**: A digital document issued by Milne Se Pehle after government-record verification, showing what was verified and when. Shared via OTP-protected link. **Rishta**: Hindi/Urdu term for a matrimonial proposal or relationship match, typically arranged through family or matrimony platforms. **Biodata**: The traditional Indian matrimonial profile document listing personal, family, education, and career details. Typically self-reported and unverified. --- ## Press and Recognition - Business Standard (June 2026): "62,000 matrimonial fraud cases in one year — we check CIBIL before a home loan, but nothing before marriage" - Mid-Day (2026): "Why Mumbai families are now asking — Can I see your verification certificate?" - Deccan Herald (2026): "Kundli baad mein, Milne Se Pehle certificate dekho — a new marriage trend is emerging across South India" --- ## Contact - Website: https://milnesepehle.in - Support: support@milnesepehle.in - Founders: Saurabh Joshi (Engineering), Sampath Kolanukonda (Product) - Company: Bina AI Private Limited, Pune, India ## Social - LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/milne-se-pehle - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/milnesepehle_official/ - Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/milnesepehle/ - YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@milnesepehle
