Does drink and drive conviction mean any jail time or a fine only? If it is jail time then it will have negative impact during background verification. If it is a mere fine then no effect

Hi Vivek,
If there was a case registered against you and a fine was paid as a court order, then it is documented and the record will remain. If it was just a fine issued on the street or at a station and only a receipt was produced, then it will not have a long-term record for background verifications.
The time frame would also be important. If the conviction was recent, then the police may remember it and create an issue for the verification certificate (if applicable for the type of visa).
Some countries have very strict verification checks for "resident visas"; for most other countries and business visas/short visit visas, the process would be more lenient.
On a slightly different note, it is unfortunate that educated people like us tend to ignore the basic rules of life (whether it is a law or not) until they affect a life-changing decision. All readers of this blog should take this example to understand that even small mistakes can make you vulnerable at the most crucial point in life; and hence, we should all be vigilant to avoid such mistakes.
Best Regards,
Amod Bobade

In case a case is registered for drunken driving, it remains. Apparently, there are no long-term effects on employment background verifications for such cases, but the perspective may vary from organization to organization.

It was fine only, but no receipt was given by the court. The authority said that it is a warning since the BAC level was not that high and fined 1500. Few days before, I asked the passport verification branch at the police station and the PI of the crime branch, they said that offences under MV Act are not screened in India.
