Here you go, this is what VFS/BHC says:

Here is link: http://www.vfs-uk-in.com/applying.aspx

The only way is the legal way

You may decide to submit your application to VFS via an independent Travel Agent, Immigration Agent or Consultant. These agents will charge for their services. Any such charge should be reasonable.

You should be careful when dealing with agents who make unrealistic claims. Agents cannot guarantee that they will be able to obtain a work or study visa for you. They cannot guarantee that your application will be resolved without an interview. They cannot guarantee the outcome of a visa application. They may be cheating you if they make these claims.

Many agents charge exorbitant fees for their services - often many times the actual cost of the visa. If an agent charges you anything more than a small and reasonable service charge, they may be overcharging you or they may be supplying you with false documents and statements. Visa officers will detect false documents and statements, and the visa application will be refused. You will lose all your money.

Does it make a difference if one applies thru a solicitor.?

Remember the visa application is your application. You are the owner of the information and any supporting documentation. A genuine agent will only be able to help you to complete the form and advise as to what supporting documents you need to include. If you are suspicious, take advice from VFS. If you consider that you have been misled or cheated by an agent, then you should report the matter to the Police.
