I live in Bangalore and getting my India PCC was a very simple process.
1. Go thru http://www.passportindia.gov.in/AppOnlineProject/online/pccOnlineApp
2. Register yourself and take an appointment. Mine was at PSK, Lalbagh.
3. Print out the Application Receipt. You will also need photocopy of the first two and last two pages of the passport, and an address proof. You need to self attest all these documents.
4. Show up at the appointed date & time with all the required documents and look for the Batch No displayed at one of the windows outside. Your batch number is printed on your application receipt. There will be a security personnel by the chairs outside who will verify your documents. You can only enter the building when they call your batch number and when your documents have been checked by the security personnel.
5. Once your batch is called, clear security check and buy the PCC form for 1/- by the photocopiers.
6. Fill out the form and stand in line for the token number.
7. Enter the main office once you get the token number. Watch the TV screens for your token number.
8. Go to the specific counter when your token number is displayed on the screen. You'll need to go to A counter, the B counter, then C counter when called.
9. At the C counter, they'll send you to another counter to get the PCC printed. Once you get the PCC take it back to the C counter to get the stamp ans signature.
That's it. The entire process should take 2 hours max.
One thing to note is that the PCC will have the same details as your passport. So if anything needs to be changed, you should get a new passport and then apply for a PCC.
Good Luck!
