Candidate Consent & Legal Authorizations

Standard candidate consent templates required before initiating background verification audits.

Why Consent is Mandatory

Under Indian privacy codes and the DPDP Act 2023, conducting background screenings, academic audits, or reference checks without candidate consent is unlawful. Companies must acquire signed consent before submitting cases to AIPN.

Sample Consent Clause Template

I understand that my data will be processed securely and in compliance with the DPDP Act 2023."
