- Advanced Genetic Analysis: We analyze a minimum of 28 genetic markers, a high number that provides the strong statistical power needed for conclusive results.
- Clarity on Accuracy: While no test can be described as 100% accurate in all universal terms, our paternity DNA testing is designed to provide definitive conclusions:
- Exclusion Results: If the tested man is not the biological father, the result is 100% conclusive.
- Inclusion Results: If the tested man is the biological father, we typically report a probability of paternity greater than 99.9999%. This is considered conclusive proof of paternity in both personal and legal contexts.
- Two Testing Pathways: We offer both peace-of-mind (home collection kit) and legally admissible tests (with a verified chain of custody). You can start with our discreet Home DNA Test Kit for personal answers.

Frequently Asked Questions: Paternity Test Cost & Process
Q: Is the price of ₹13,000 the final cost, or are there hidden fees?
A: For the standard peace-of-mind test (one child, one alleged father), ₹13,000 is the total inclusive cost for 2026. There are no hidden charges. Prices for legal tests or additional participants are provided upfront before you proceed.
Q: How is a legal test different, and why does it cost more?
A: A legal test includes a verified chain-of-custody: a professional collects samples, verifies the identity of all participants with government-issued ID, and documents the process. This strict protocol, which makes the results legally defensible in court, involves more administrative steps and certified personnel, hence the different pricing.
Q: Which is more accurate, a blood test or a cheek swab for DNA?
A: For DNA testing, buccal (cheek) swabs are just as accurate as blood samples. Both contain the same nuclear DNA used for paternity analysis. Swabs are non-invasive, painless, and easier to collect, making them the standard for both personal and legal tests.
Q: Can I do a paternity test before the child is born?
A: We specialize in postnatal testing. For questions regarding prenatal paternity testing, we recommend consulting with a gynecologist or genetic counselor to understand the available medical procedures, risks, and associated costs.
Q: How long do you keep the DNA samples and data?
A: We respect your privacy. Samples are typically destroyed shortly after the test is completed and reported, unless specific storage instructions are given. All personal data is handled under strict confidentiality protocols.
