Fast and quick service. Thank you Mr. Shubham Sharma
Worst experience and fraud agency !!!! Opted for the very basic service for name change and Gazette publication. They were very prompt in communication and follow up until I have made full payment. But after that there is no proper response for email, not attending the calls or returning back the same. They are now asking me to follow up directly with government employees in Delhi for the Gazette publication. I have lost my money, now I am looking for any other reputed team for Gazette publication. Do not fall in their trap, I would never recommend this agency
