Below 3 situations are applicable if you are applying PCC from PSK or RPO.
You are the luckiest if your current address and the address on the passport is the same.
Now for those who arent that lucky and the current addresss doesnt match the address on the passport. If your address is still in the same city and the passport is under 3 years old , you have a chance of getting the PCC on the same day. (I got it this way!)
The last scenario is that if your current address is of a different city from the one in the Passport. You then walk away after 5 hours , with an acknowledgement receipt stating a "pre-verification required from police".
- From here, your application goes to the Passport Verification Cell. The file moves physically from PSK to PVC. So this step might take time. After the file comes in , it has to be entered into the police records. That takes 2-3 more working days. Then a field officer from the area of your current address is assigned your file. He can take upto 3 days to come to the house and make the file.Then the file is physically returned to the RPO. Then the RPO scans the file back into their system and you would receive an sms to come and collect the PCC.
