Beatification of Sister Rani Maria

The beatification process opened on 26 September 2003 after the title Servant of God was conferred upon her and the Congregation for the Causes of Saints granted the "nihil obstat" ('nothing against') to the cause. The subsequent diocesan process took place in Indore from 29 June 2005 to 28 June 2007 and received C.C.S. validation in Rome on 27 November 2009.

The C.C.S. received the Positio in 2014 and passed it onto consulting theologians who – on 11 February 2016 – voiced their approval to the cause. The C.C.S. later approved this on 21 March 2017. Pope Francis approved the cause on 23 March 2017 and confirmed that Vattalil would be beatified on 4 November 2017 in Indore.

The postulator assigned to the cause at present is Fra Giovangiuseppe Califano.
