Processing at consulate means bls has sent your docs to consulate. Don't expect someone at consulate has seen your application. Once you receive police verification email then you can assume application processing has started. These status are very misleading and so not trust fully on them. Its 6 weeks once consulate receive your docs from bls. Read carefully.
Please note that the competent authorities in India have decided that henceforth PCC will only be issued after receipt of fresh police verification on the PCC application. This will apply to all categories of applicants. The processing time after receipt of application from the BLS (the outsourced agency) will be about 6 weeks or it can be issued after receipt of approval, which can be earlier or later. Applicants are requested to assess their requirements for obtaining PCC for India well in advance and submit their applications accordingly at the BLS, since walk-in will be practicable, given the instructions docs from bls. Lazy asses these folks.
So when I track my application it says application date as 22nd May, so my 6 weeks period starts from this date? I am yet to receive police verification email. Correct me if I am wrong?
