Today I went to PSK Tambaram for getting PCC and was given "await PV (Police Verification)". Both my passport address and my current address are same. If both address are same, I have heard people getting PCC in same day. But Unfortunately, I was given for police verification needed. Anyone had the same experience? Also, anyone who went through police verification for getting police clearance certificate, Could you please let me know how long does it take to get PCC in this case ?

Yes I am applying by myself. Yet to start the documents. First thought of taking PCC and I didn't expect that police verification was needed. Also, let me know does anyone from police station will call you that when they are coming home for verification ? Did you underwent police verification? If so, let me know you timelines ?
Actually, they were calling my name 2 times and i was seeing the screen waiting for my token number to turn up on the screen. And that lady in C1 counter was yelling why did you come when we called. It was not even 5 seconds over since they called my name. I just went there and told i was waiting for my number on the screen. I was sitting right there. Not more than 1 minute it took for me to go near C1 counter
I didn't show any attitude. apart from this. Not my day i guess What did the passport officer tell you?Actually, they were calling my name 2 times and i was seeing the screen waiting for my token number to turn up on the screen.

She just wrote "AWAIT PV" in my application and handed the papers to me. Then, I asked the staff nearby they told after police verification is over, you will get a message and then you can come and collect the PCC without an appointment.
I had the same experience last month in Pune. I needed a PV because my passport was not issued in India (that's the reason they gave me). The officer told me PV would take a week, but I dug up some old threads on this forum in which people complained that it actually takes a month even though officially it's supposed to take a week. Since I already had an ITA, I panicked and got a "tatkal" PV. Took an evening!
Ohh ok ! First time hearing about TATKAL for PV ! I just contacted the police officer who comes for verification. He told me that we will come on Saturday or Sunday. So I am waiting for the procedure to continue. Or right at the moment should I apply again through tatkal?
Disclaimer: I put quotes around the word "tatkal" because it was an under-the-table transaction with an agent outside the PSK (if you catch my drift). Not the best choice if you have strong ethical values
In any case, sounds like you've got the ball rolling, so you can carry on with the procedure if you don't mind waiting for a week!

Ah ha ! I got it now about what TATKAL you are mentioningDisclaimer: I put quotes around the word "tatkal" because it was an under-the-table transaction with an agent outside the PSK (if you catch my drift). Not the best choice if you have strong ethical values

As you said, waiting for a week doesn't matter much for me. Hopefully would get it within a week.
Applied and got PCC from Tambaram PSK in Aug 2018. While they did PV for me, they gave PCC for my wife immediately when she went 3 days later. My PV was completed in 3 days. On the second day after applying I was called to station, had to spend few hundreds. I think they randomly initiate PV.
Ohh ok ! Happy to hear about quick timelines ! Thursday and friday are holiday in chennai at PSK. So they may probably start the process on Monday ! Hope to get PCC by next week .
