Turnaround Time for Checks ( TAT )
Turnaround Time (TAT) refers to the total time required to complete a particular check, measured from the moment the process begins until it is successfully finished. TAT is calculated for the period when a check is in progress.
If a check is insufficient or the candidate status is Awaiting Input, TAT is considered Null as the verification process has not yet been finalised.
Note: TAT values listed are indicative. Most checks are completed within or before the stated range. Certain situations β such as unresponsive employers, missing documents, or international verifications β may require additional time.
