The wait is indeed very depressing my friend, we get you.
Now the important thing in your case is that your criminality has not been passed as yet, now this is bit abnormal. Mostly criminality is passed at CIO Sydney office and then files are transferred to Local Visa office i.e NDVO in our case. Now there could be 2 reasons for this- one is that maybe you were asked some additional documents related to PCCs etc. and other is that they are not satisfied with your given documents. Now to make sure that whether there is some problem with criminality or it has just not been started as yet, check your GCMS notes last pages under "ACTIVITY" there will be date by date progress on all checks, R10, Criminality , Eligibility etc. Now try to find out whether Criminality has not been started as yet or is under some review, also check "Agents review", that will also clear things up for you. Also regarding eligibility, sometimes people only see the latest value on Eligibility which is "not started", but what happens at CIO is that they check your preliminary eligibility and change it "Met" if all is good, if they have some doubts about your file they change it to "review required", and when file is transferred to Delhi again the value is changed to "not started", so better check and read the entire set of notes carefully and try to find out what is actually going on.
You can discuss here, if any doubts.
PPRs for August will come by latest till 15-20 December hopefully, but get your case checked properly, so that if there is something missing, you can raise a cse and upload or explain.
Also check your background status, is it in IP1?
