Therefore, candidates who already possess practical knowledge, prior training, or professional experience in forensic work may avail this collaboration model.

This model is suitable for forensic professionals who:-

• candidates expecting a government-type appointment

• candidates seeking training as part of this joining fee

• candidates who do not have practical exposure and are not yet ready for independent forensic work

If you are looking for a salary-based job, this Collaboration Model is not for you.

Any candidate who wishes to join the FSI Panel under this model shall first send a proper mail/application expressing willingness to become a:-

“Member of FSI / Certified Forensic Expert (CFE)”

for a particular State / Region.

The application should clearly mention that the applicant wants to work with FSI under the Partnership/Collaboration Model.

• Region/State allocation shall be decided by the Board Members of FSI

• Allocation will depend on available slots in different States / Regions of India

• Preference may be given according to:

  • vacancy of slot in the region

  • applicant’s experience

  • professional suitability

  • discipline / specialization

  • existing representation in that State

The application may be rejected if the slot is already overcrowded in the same region.

If the joining expert already has:

• practical knowledge,

• prior forensic training,

• report drafting ability,

• and awareness of legal proceedings,

then, whenever a case is received in his/her State or allotted region, the distribution of fees may generally be as follows:-

60 : 40 Ratio

• 60% – to the Expert who handles and signs the report

• 40% – to FSI Head Office

This sharing is applicable in normal circumstances where the regional expert independently handles the matter in accordance with FSI policy.

In case a member joins the FSI Platform, receives a case, but is unable to proceed independently and requires the assistance, supervision, drafting support or involvement of a Senior Expert, then the sharing structure may be revised accordingly. In such situations:

• fee sharing may be vice-versa (60%- Head Office : 40 % -Expert) or

• may be modified according to the nature of support and involvement of the Senior Expert / Head Office

The final fee-sharing decision in such cases shall remain subject to internal discussion and approval by FSI.
