Could any one may please clarify:
I m frm Punjab ,India,
As There are two methods for the issue the PCC, one is from local SSP office and the another one is through Passport office.
Could any one please explain the difference in between these two different way of PCC. Is in both way they will issue a seperate certificate.Please explain.
Gurminder bhaji, you can get it from either of the two, there is no difference besides that if you apply to passport office then they will issue it to you and if you apply to SSP office then they will issue it to you. I took mine from Regional Passport office they took a nominal fee of INR 500.00. After i applied a police enquiry happened and after one month i was informed by Passport office to collect my PCC. The enquiry only happens if your passport is issued more than a year ago if not then they will give you the PCC hand to hand like in my wife's case. You can get it from anywhere which you think is easy for you to get it but remember one thing that they both are valid only for a year from the date of their issue so apply for it only once you are ready with all other documents.
I hope you have already referred to CIC website to understand from where to get the PCC, if not here it is:
