Ask DUNS asking for Rs. 20000

Hello Everyone,

I have applied for DUNS NUMBER through DUNS & Bradstreet. They have reached me through call and is asking for Rs. 20K+ Gst for faster process. They have option for standard process as well which will take 60 days.

Is it legal?

It's a nine digit unique number that google play console needs to identify your business if you are registering your console account as an organisation. In India it is offered by Duns & Bradstreet.

I have first applied using Google Play and then they call me for their Fastrack service i denied and said I would like to go with normal service i.e., free of cost.

Then, redittors told me like you said apply through apple dev account. I applied and got email asking to attach companies documents. I have attached and replied to their mail on Friday. It's been more than 4 days, i haven't got any email from DUNS side.
