CIC is now asking Indian applicants to get their clearance certificate from the district police station (for those not in Delhi):

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/security/police-cert/asia-pacific/india.asp

I was wondering if the PSK issued PCC's are thus not valid anymore?

TIA

Yes, IRCC has recommended PCC from local police station in their website, but I have seen many people getting PCC from PSK and they are not from New Delhi.

I have also seen people getting rejected if they are uploading PCC from their local police station. As the PCC from the local police station only covers the duration you stayed in the area from where you got PCC (local Police Station). To be on safe side, get a PCC from PSK as it covers whole country.

What is PSK? So I can get it from local police station and not from consulate Or embassy? Will that work just as good as getting it from an embassy?

I am still a bit confused on this.

I have applied for PCC from Delhi police website. But as I have lived in other states too do I need to get a PCC from PSK as well?

Where does it say police clearance from passport office is not valid? Can you please pinpoint? Passport office is not an option only for non citizens.

I still see that they have mentioned passport office as one of the option for all citizen residents from any state.

PCC obtained from PSK (Passport seva kendra) is valid.

In fact, it is better option, since it does not mention the duration of time you stayed at particular address.

You need different PCCs only if you stayed in another country for >6 months

In that case get your PCC from PSk as it will cover all the cities. PCC from Delhi police will just cover Delhi. And you only need 1 PCC from India.

In the link you only provided, it clearly states that PCC obtained from Passport offices (PSK) are valid

Okay so the police station PCC is not the best option. I had read somewhere earlier that police PCC was 'prefered'. Anyway I will appy at PSK for PCC now.
