- Every supporting document is genuine and current
- Every answer matches the documents (e.g. employer dates match Form 16)
- Every prior visa application disclosed (worldwide, last 10 years), including refusals
- Identity-document numbers (Aadhaar, PAN, passport) consistent across the file
- If any prior 4020 finding exists in the last 10 years: STOP. The application is likely invalid. Engage senior MARA agent.
