Dear Sir,
Authenticity can't be provided by general opinion or anyone can make anything authentic. I would advise you to confirm or ask the same question to Association of Publishers in India, http://www.publishers.org.in/
They will give you authentic data or Information to be a proof.
Thank you.

Dear Sir,
As we know the most dependable source on this :the Beall's blog of predatory publishers suddenly went offline without any notice. But here we have that same list archived by somebody else.

Alternatively you might be able to access Beall's blog's archived version through "wayback machine" .

Dear Mr. Singh,
As I understand Anmol, Medtech, Ane Books, Kanishka are bonafide publishers. We have purchased several books from these publishers. As I understand, Anmol & Kanishka are included in the list of publishers recognised by ICSSR.
You may check with the others' websites and check the authors and then check authors' other publications and if they are from standard publishers, you can judge about the genuinity of the authors and vis-a-vis , the publishers.
You may consult one of my classmates, Mr. K. Manoj Kumar Singh, ex Librarian, Bodha Chandra College, Imphal.
Sincerely,
Siddhartha S. Ray, Calcutta
