Correct procedure for getting Police Clearance Certificate/ PCC in India ?

[nokia3315]

Please note this question is not for residents of Punjab & Delhi, this is for those who reside elsewhere.

Is by getting it online from Passport Seva ? http://passportindia.gov.in/AppOnlineProject/online/pccOnlineApp

Or by getting it from local police station as mentioned by CIC here http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/security/police-cert/asia-pacific/india.asp

If you reside in states other than Delhi and Punjab...yes, you need to obtain a PCC from district local police station.

Better stick to the process of getting a PCC from Commissioner's Office and not PSK, if you reside in a state other than Delhi and Punjab.

By commissioner's office you mean local police station of my locality ?

If you are in Bangalore, you can get a clearance issued from the office of the Commissioner of Police.
It seems to be a straightforward process and you can also apply online for it.
Google - bangalore city police PCC - and check the first link. It lists all the steps.
I would have pasted the link but it seems I am not allowed to.

Re: Correct procedure for getting PCC in India ?

thanks tp_ee for the info. It seems Bangalore has two options. What about other towns where they have Passport Seva but no clear option to apply to local police station ?

Re: Correct procedure for getting PCC in India ?

Plus checking this thread I am wondering if PCC from Passport Seva is still acceptable ?
