1) They need both. That's why they ask for police certificates from other countries.

2 and 3) It's a matter of where you've been in the last 4 years before the day you submit your application, regardless of what you sent for a previous application. If you spent 183 days (total) or more in one country in that timeframe, you'll need a police certificate for that country. If it's the case for either the USA or Australia, the police certificate would probably need to be a new one.

Hi Arnav, Whatever info is there in your eligibility period will be checked. If your Australia and Usa trips were before the eligibility period no need to worry as you have already submitted police clearance during PR process and only being to India as stated.
