Dear nmg and other fellow NDVO applicants,
Today I got my Police clearance certificate from Passport seva kendra, Gurgaon.
I will try to answer few queries regarding PCC from India based on my experience.
1) what is the content of PCC from Hyderabad/India? if possible please paste here without personal details?
Ans)-
It is certified that there is no adverse information against xyz, s/o abc, holder of indian passport no. xxxxxx, issued at Delhi, on xxxxxxx which would render him or her ineligible for grant of travel facilities including visa for Canada.
Above is mentioned in certificate, Signed and stamped by Superintendent,Ministry of external affairs.
2) does they mention from how long the person is staying on particular address in PCC?
Ans:. No.
3) is the PCC stamped in Passport or provide on paper?
Ans). They stamped and signed on passport that they have issued PCC to the applicant on xxxxxx file no. xxxxxxxx.
4) Does they collect the passport when you apply for PCC and keep with them till we get PCC?
Ans:. No, I got my PCC with in 2 hours.
There is no expiry date on PCC.
While issuing PCC they took my finger prints and verified it through their database.
The procedure I followed:
Applied online on passportindia.gov.in. Filled the form and paid the fees online.Booked the appointment with PSK, Gurgaon.
Reached on the scheduled time.
It's amazing entered in PSK at 10:15 AM, Got my PCC in hand by 12:15 PM
.I was very pleased by the behavior and efficiency of all the employees.The only document you need to carry is your passport in original and photocopies of the particulars page (self attested).
My case: My current address and address in passport is same and my passport is less then 2 years old (Recently renewed).
I asked Superintendent, what if address is not same (current and address in passport), She replied, In that case police verification will be initiated and you will be called in few days to collect your PCC from PSK based on the case.
Before applying through PSK, I tried my luck with local police station.Those stupid crooks asked me to pay Rs. 3000 in bribe and I will get my PCC from Police commissioner's office with in 10-15 days.
I just paid Rs. 500 to PSK and got my PCC done.
So I will really encourage people to use the PSK service rather then Police station.
Hope this helps..Any questions or doubts I am more then happy to help anyone ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
