Process Explained – Taking PCC from Commissioner’s office in Bangalore, India

[viveksharma]

Note: Taking PCC from Commissioner’s office is faster but costlier than PSK process -at least in Bangalore
1. Documents you should accompany:
a. 6 passport size photos per applicant
b. Original Passport and Passport copies
c. Proof of Address and copies(such as PSU Bank statement or other utility bills such as gas connection/water connection/electricity bill. The bill should be in your name. For Address proof I submitted my Bank’s account which is jointly held by my wife and me
d. You need to fill 2 application form per applicant ( Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) - – INR 200 and Police Verification Certificate (PVE) –INR 1000)

2. Ideally only PCC should be fine. But, the policewala at the “Single Window” counter would tell you that if you take only PCC they would mention in the PCC that this clearance is not for job. For job clearance, they told me, I need to take PVC

3. For each applicant this is how the application should be submitted at commissioner’s office (better to accompany spouse) :

a. PCC
i. Fill the form for PCC
ii. Attach 3 passport size photo
iii. Attach passport photopcopy. My passport has my wife’s name endorsed hence marriage certificate was not asked. Else, better to take along marriage certificate
iv. Attach address proof
v. Pay fee INR 200 and attach the payment receipt. The Bangalore one counter in commissioner’s office would charge INR 5 extra
b. PVC
i. Fill the form for PVC (actually same form as PCC, you just need to tick the right boxes)
ii. Attach 3 passport size photo
iii. Attach passport photopcopy
iv. Attach address proof
v. Pay fee INR 1000 and attach the payment receipt. The Bangalore one counter in commissioner’s office would charge INR 5 extra

4. Pay under the table money. Well how could we forget this 
5. You will receive 2 SMS per applicant. One for PCC and another for PVC. In our case we received these SMSes before we could reach home. The SMS would ask you to contact your Police Station
6. Take the following document to Police station
a. PCC and PVC
i. 6 passport photo again
ii. Passport and its copy
iii. Rental agreement
iv. Address proof you submitted above
v. You will be asked to write an application ( each for PCC and PVC per applicant) mentioning that you reside at the given address, that you are a citizen of India by birth, and that there is no criminal case against you in any police station across India)
7. Then a police wallah came to our flat and verified the address. He also gave us 4 copies of a form in which we were asked to take signature and address and of two of our neighbours
8. Next day we submitted this additional form also
9. You will get SMS again after 5-7 days that your certificates are ready and you need to go back to commissioner’s office to collect the certificate. Do not forget to take along the receipt that you would have received when submitted the form in the commissioner’s office
10. Please do clarify in your first visit to commissioner’s office that whether PCC would be fine or PVC would also be required

Thanks Vivek Sharma for a comprehensive post.

I'm about to get this PCC and PVC in Bangalore. I have a travel to Australia coming up next week. So I probably won't be at home when police comes for verification. Hopefully they'll call me before coming and hopefully this call will happen in AU day time.

Does any know who did this in Bangalore know if we can predict the police verification visit from the app submission day? If it likely happens 1 week later or 2 weeks later, then I can time the submission so that I'm in India when verification happens.

Can someone who applied recently help me, please.
