Guys,

How long Indian PCC is valid? I got one in April 2016 and have not visited India since then so is it valid yet or have to get new one.

Thanks,
 
Would suggest getting a new one, even if technically it is valid since you did not travel. It should take no longer than a week to process if you haven't visited India since

Oh shoot, no it wont work. I actually went to to get my own PCC with a copy thinking it is enough. They point blank refused. They keep your original passport and permit to verify. Can't u get a new copy of your permit? Your UCI number is available on the soft copy

How can I get a replaced copy. it will take time and my work permit will expire in mid march. I received ITA recently.

Who refused to accept copy of work permit? BLS or Embassy, I am planning to visit embassy if BLS refuses.

Thanks,
Arvind

BLS. They keep the original passport and permit with them and give it to you in a week or two with PCC stamped

Indian consulate is near by, let me try my luck to visit it directly.

Thanks
 
Can I apply for PR with old PCC and then get a BOWP,

Once I have BOWP, I can get a fresh copy of PCC and upload again
 
Your current PCC is valid as long as you received it after the last time you lived in India.
 
You do not need a new PCC since you have not visited India after you got the current one.
