Hello Friends
Today I got my PCC.
After confusion on when i will be issued PCC, i booked an appointment for today on 18th sep.
I visited the PSK(Passport Seva Kendra) in Hyderabad at 12.00PM as my reporting time was 12.30Pm.
Everything was well organised there. The security guard asked all the 12.30 appointment ppl to form a queue.
We were sent in for security check, from there to take token. I heard people saying that it may take 4 hours to finish off the process.
The guy at the token counter asked for the self attested copy of my passport, asked if my present residence address is same, i replied no and gave him the self attested copies of aadhar and voter id which stand as proof of my current address.
After getting the token i was asked to go to counter 'A'.
The waiting hall was packed and i was like sure that it may take around 2 hours for my turn.
surprisingly, my token number flashed in the monitor within 5 minutes. I went to the designated 'A' counter.
A kind guy asked to show the original passport and original supporting documents. Also captured my photo. Within 5 minutes i am done with counter 'A' and told to wait for my token to be called at counter 'B'.
Again, lot of people waiting at that counter, but i came to know that most of them came to apply for a new passport and PCC applications will be processed very fast.
At counter 'B' a guy cross checked all the self attested docs and send me to counter 'C'. It took less than 2mins at counter 'B'.
At counter C, i was waiting for my turn and the lady sitting at the counter rejected two new passport applications as she dint accept aadhar as recognized address proof. my token was called and she checked all the original docs and passport and asked me to wait aside(dint tell anything, i was worried if there was some error in my application). After few minutes a middle aged guy came to the counter and endorsed my passport with the seal and gave the PCC.
Really surprised by the pace at which things rolled there. got the token at 1.10 PM and came out with PCC by 1.45PM.
good luck for all the applicants.
