In June 2021, a grave incident occurred at the Sukhobristi Housing Complex in Kolkata, where a shootout led to a state of alarm among residents. The investigation revealed that one of the individuals involved had rented an apartment in the complex without undergoing police verification. The entry was either facilitated by the landlord directly or through informal brokerage, with little to no documentation about the tenant’s criminal background. The residents, shaken by the event, appealed for mandatory police verification of tenants in all residential societies to avert recurrence2. This incident led to growing calls for legal and procedural safeguards in the residential leasing sector.
A techno-legal enterprise like SafeBox Technology and Solutions LLP stands at the confluence of legal compliance, digital facilitation, and secure identity verification, offering a robust and end-to-end tenancy vetting infrastructure
Through its criminal antecedents verification engine, Safebox enables landlords to screen tenants against criminal records across all criminal courts, NCRB, SEBI, RBI, and CBI databases. Had this mechanism been operational and mandatorily used in the Sukhobristi case, it is highly probable that the criminal background of the occupant would have been flagged, thereby alerting the authorities and the landlord well before occupancy.
Safebox’s Digital Document Execution (DDE) platform facilitates the creation of legally vetted rental agreements embedded with arbitration clauses. These documents are:
The platform integrates automated KYC validation and Aadhaar authentication. With built-in features that trigger police verification requests as part of the onboarding process, landlords are empowered to adhere to legal mandates without cumbersome physical visits or documentation errors.
Safebox ensures that every agreement executed on its platform is in line with the Information Technology Act, 2000 and the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, minimizing risks related to identity fraud, forgery, and information tampering.
