Hi Gaurav

I suggest you go to the passport office and talk to them directly. If you can manage an agent who gets these things try, look around, they take some money but get your work done in no time provided all your documents (proofs of identity etc are in order)

PCC normally takes a week. when did u get your police verification done for your passport? why I ask this is because if it was done in last 2 yrs then they dont do it again and check their system and give a clearance, if otherwise, they do a physical verification.

you can also go to the nearest police station and see what the cops say, they might be able to do it for you.

What checklist are we talking about here?

Checklist like --- document to be attached while applying for PCC in passport office

oh,

atleast 2 residential address proofs, identity proof, i guess that is all they need. basically the papers that you give for your passport, the same papers.

Thanks

I also found following answer:--------

PCC has to be done from the office where your passport has been issued, in case you are in India. I got it done from Chandigarh. I submitted the application in morning and got the PCC letter at 2 PM the same day. Looks like Chandigarh office is really fast. My passport was 6 yrs old.
Also, they do put a stamp in passport stating PCC issued for XYZ country.
If outside India, you need to send the original to consulate and you will get PCC in a month. They will also stamp the passport. I got mine from New York consulate 3 months back and it took me 1 month.




What to do

[anj1976]

nothing to do, just go to the passport office, dont waste time

I think they do give a counterfoil with the details tht u have applied for PCC or whatever at the passport office, scan it and send it to the CO stating, you have sent it for PCC and are waiting for the same.

Incase it takes longer, it isnt your fault, atleast you have a proof that you took action on time and it is the govt taking time.

whats confusing you? there are few things not in your hand, so relax and do the right thing without wasting time

Gourav,
Let me share something from my side, I am doing this process since last week, I have been asked to submit PCC within 28 days by CO.

Last tuesday, We have filled PCC application for my wife, they have given reciept as acknoledgement of the same.

about the document

You will need to fill form-2 and PP form with appress proof, nothing else. (If it is same process as bangalore or KARNATAKA).

In my wife's case we just flled up form-2, PP form, IT return filling acknoledgement and Employer's letter (Original). they took her passport with application.

One more thing her passport has been issued from Ahmedabad office.

If you are staying at current address for more than 1 or 2 yrs then you need to fill only one PP form otherwise you will need to fill more PP forms (with address proof or without proof not sure about that )

FYI : In bangalore they dont consider the rent agreement

This process it pretty simple if we go with all documents, mind you even we were able to fill the same on second attempt

let me know if you need more information

Regards
Jiggy

Boy, this conversation is starting to scare me. Does DIAC actually ask you to submit the PCC within a certain timeframe?

I have to get my PCC done in Canada while I live in Australia, and according to the RCMP website (Royal Canadian Mounted Police who are responsible for all PCC's), it takes up to 120 days to complete.

If DIAC asks to for this in 28 days, or even 60 days, I won't be able to provide it to them!!!

hi kt

u can always provide them proof (acknowledgment slip) that you have applied for the same. A lot of people start the PCC process much before they are asked for, that way they done loose time when the CO asks fr it but current timeline is erratic and I dont think one should risk getting the PCC done before it is asked for.

Cheers

Thanks for the info anj....my agent said they would advise me when to do the PCC. Not sure how I would be able to obtain an acknowledgement slip from the RCMP while I'm in OZ..I won't be there in person to complete them...I'll be doing the fingerprints here in Sydney, and will courier them to Canada.

Perhaps I should advise my agent on how long the PCC from Canada will take?
