Shareen,
PCC is more than enough for our cause, and you need not take appointments at the passport offices for this. This is a miscellaneous and same day service. Submit the Forms and 300Rs in the morning along with the passport and collect the Passports along with the PCCs in the evening
. There may be a delay if you are applying at a different passport office than the one that issued your passports, but it might not take more than a week. Generally the passport office which issues your passport has your police records on file and so it's so much easier for them to issue a PCC.
I've always heard that the certificates from the Police people, are always time consuming and complicated. Some, even ask for the proof that the VO needs it
I suggest passport offices(where your passports are issued) for the Indian PCCs.
Thanks,
Indira Prabhakaran.
