Are your parents living in Punjab? If yes then they need the PCC to be signed by local SP.
Here is from the CIC site:
For residents of Punjab: You can apply to your local Senior Superintendent of Police, or the senior ranking police official at the police station in your District.
For residents of other states: You can apply at your local District Police Station.
For residents of Delhi: You can apply at your local District Police Station or online on the Delhi Police website or on the Passport India website. The Web site will list what information and documents you need. If you apply online, your certificate will be returned to you electronically.
From Tamil Nadu, its thru passport seva kendra, dont waste time in going to police station, if you are address is verified recently upto 2 years (in my mom's case), you will get the pcc, in 15 mins on the appointment day. in my dad's case, when the address was updated, police verification was not done, so his file went to Superint.. office and then came to local police station, he had to go and sign the document, and then it was sent to superin.. and then to passport office where we had our initial appointment.
so friends, please do it as per the respective state... not as per CIC site, CIC's information will suite for Canada but not for all over the world, especially not for india!!! ;D
