Hi, My husband lived in US since August 2009 and since then he has visited India for a maximum for 10-15 days every year. He never stayed in india for 6 months or over. We still came to India to get PCC. It took 10 days and we got India PCC.Thanks, yes that is true. I will start that process of getting PCC for India (not even sure how to get it from India )
But I guess at least it is not blocking from entering the application.
Refer Passport Seva Kendra for more details on the required documents.
