In our experience, the security background checks for applicants within India usually take an average of approximately 6 months. The precise time can vary greatly, however, depending upon the applicant's background, as well as how many different regions of the world that applicant has lived within, in the past. (In fact it is not unheard of for the security background check phase to last upwards of 18 months, although that is not common, and appears to be a maximum.)

In your particular case a status inquiry may be in order, to verify that the latest submitted items, including the medical examination results, have been received.

Please note that the results of the medical examination are only valid for one year from the date of the examination. Therefore, since yours will be expiring soon, you may be requested to undergo another examination before your visas are issued.
