PCC Process in India.. got this from expatforum.. this one is particularly for Pune and I guess it would be same for rest of the cities as well..
Flow for PCC process in Pune for Non-Matching Address on Passport:
Flow of Documents is : PSK > Commissioner Office(COP) > Area Police Station(APS) > COP > Regional Passport Office (RPO) > PSK
1. Application to be submitted at PSK. No appointment required. Just register your application online, take a print & walk-in.
Better be at the gate around 8.40AM. No separate line there for PCC or anything. Its chaotic at the entrance as Security guards don’t form any line there & everyone wants to rush. However people with Tatkal/PCC/9.15AM appointment are only allowed at the first time. Later people from other appointments are allowed.
PSK Address: Zero One, S.No.79/1,Ghorpadi - Mundhwa Road, Pingle Wasti, Opp. Ganga Orchid,Pune-411036.
Telephone #: 020 2567-9962/5421/5422
Working Days: Monday-Friday 9:15 AM - 4:30 PM <Lunch: 1:30 PM - 2:00 PM>
Token Issuance: 9:15 AM - 4:00 PM
2. After 1-2 weeks visit the COP & contact officer responsible for your relevant zone to check the location of your file.
COP Address: Opposite to Nucleus Mall, Nr. Sadhu Vaswani Chowk and Nr. Pune Railway Station.
Open upto 6 PM. Closed on 2nd and 4th Saturday.
No telephones for PCC Desk. So no calling option available.
Enter via main gate next to Church. Do bag scanning & register entry. Go straight, then left towards the Axis Bank ATM. Take a right & enter the building. There on the left side there is a section for Foreigner Registration & Verification. Inside at the extreme end on the right side 5 counters for PCC Verification. These officers work in shifts. Better to visit around 1pm as 1st shift ends at 2pm (7am to 2pm). So if your officer hasn’t arrived for his/her shift, you can wait & meet around 2-3pm.
For Chatturshrungi area: Mr. Gore
If file dispatched to police station go to step 3, else keep following up every 2-3 days with the officer to check the most probable date on which it will be done.
3. If files dispatched as per officer above, visit your Area Police Station for PCC. Normally it takes 3-5 weeks from your PCC application date for the files to reach area police station.
If not arrived, keep checking with the officer there on phone or personally visit to enquire about the dates upto which the files have been received.
For Chatturshrungi PS: Mr. Avhad
Timings: 10am-12noon & 5.30pm to 7pm
You may get an SMS or call from the police station once your files have been received & you are lined up for verification. Once docs have arrived you need to show up within 3-4days, else they would send the files back to Commissioner office & the process starts again from Step2.
As soon as you meet them showing your PSK receipt, they will give you a form to be filled up. The form requires detailing places you stayed in the last 2-3 years, places of your study & dates of trips to Foreign Countries if any, details of your occupation.
List of Accepted documents. Try to take as many supporting documents as possible.
1. Passport
2. Two (2) hand written reference letters from your neighbors are required stating that they know you.
3. Light Bill (One year old & New)
4. Tax Receipt
5. Bank Passbook or Bank Statement for an year
6. Index-II
7. Rent Agreement
8. Education Certificates from Date. Include your SSC certificate/marksheet as it contains your DoB
9. Birth Certificate if available
10. Photo-ID: Election Card/PAN Card
11. Marriage Certificate
12. For Minor: Father & Mother ID card
13. 1 set of Xerox copy.
14. A bonafide letter from your employer stating your present address would also help. Better if stamped or on Official Letter Head.
Once your name is called for, the officer will start the verification. Takes between 30-60mins on person to person basis.
After this a final verification by the Senior Officer takes place around 8PM. Not sure if this happens in morning also. Takes ~2-4mins.
Post this within 1-2 weeks your file will be sent back to COP.
4. After 1-2 weeks of clearance by APS visit Pune City COP & verify with the officer if he’s received your verification report from PS. Once done, personally visit officer & persuade/small talk them to process your case & give Outward number and date. They won't give you very easily. So, be prepared. Speaking in Marathi might help.
5. Visit RPO with this Outward Number on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday between 10:00 to 12:30.So, be there in the morning by 9:15 AM. Stand in the queue for enquiry counter to get token. Persuade Enquiry counter officer to allow you visit the Passport Officer and show your outward number. Only once the counter officer is convinced or your outward date was 1-2weeks back, he'll allot you token mentioning it on your application form. Once inside you need to meet the Passport Officer. Using that they will scan/link/download/upload your documents and something like fax your report to PSK. Once they are done, you will receive the SMS/Email for issuance from PCC. In case they refuse then you need to argue/plead strongly to get your PCC. A letter stating some urgency for the PCC to be cleared soon would help. Not sure if a duplicate PCC is issued by RPO any further.
RPO: Msfc Building, Opposite Symbiosys College, Senapati Bapat Road, Pune - 411004
+(91)-(20)-2567-9962/63/64 | 5421/22
The step 5 is a rough understanding & might not hold true till some fellow member verifies it by visiting themselves.
6. Visit PSK. The granting officer will stamp your passport and will hand you over 2 copies PCC (dated and stamped).
Hope this helps
