I received letter today fo for submitting my fingerprints. I am currently in India and have no plans to return back that soon.
They allow only 30 days from the date of letter received.

Just submit within 45 days. it should be fine. They will send another 1-2 requests before they place the file on hold.
I doubt that they would even review your file exactly within 30 days, if so then we would all have finished our processing way sooner.
30 days is the general timeline. Many applicants' background check never get reviewed within 2 months too. So get it asap and let it take 45-60 days. Also some even misses the email and they get another notification after 3-6 months hence your situation is ok as yours will reach cic within 2 months.

Informing cic that you are outside might make some officers place the file on hold by entering the exit date hence just give the fingerprints soon and let it take 45 days which is ok.
