If you have not visited India since the date this Indian PCC was issued to you, then it is still valid.
If a person is currently residing in India and applying from India, then the PCC is valid for only 6 months.

For countries in which the applicant no longer resides, the police certificate must have been issued after the departure date of the last time the client resided in that country for more than six months.

Just to clarify if i went back home for vacations (1 month) does that mean im gonna have to get the PCC for back home ? or it has to be more than 6 months and then in that case you have to get PCC from there? So Confusing :'(

Better to obtain a new PCC after your visit to India. You will need to apply for it through the Indian Embassy based in your current country of residence.
As such the format of PCC provided by PSK and Indian Embassy is the same.

You require PCC for every country in which you have resided 6 months or more.
Say you lived in a country for 6 months in a year. Then you returned back sometime later in that same country and stayed for a month. So your PCC for that country should be issued after your last visit (or during your last few days stay) in that country.

Thanks much for help ! (and lemme know if gets annoying at any point.) so my question is i went back home just for 1 month so i don't understand why do i need PCC(since it is less than 6 months isn't it ).?

IRCC wants a new PCC in this case. Clearly mentioned on their website - Program updates for PCC.
I also felt the same way last year, when I had obtained Indian PCC from Indian embassy and then visited India for 3 weeks, which made my earlier PCC invalid.
I hope you get it.

you are getting confused. sushsmart15 has replied your query nicely. once you stay more than 6 months in any country you need a PCC after your last visit to that country.
Only if you have stayed for less than 6 months in total in any country you are exempted.
