When the police man came for verification, my tenant who were staying at my home, called me to provide all the details to the Police man asking regarding the verification. I provided all the details in a soft manner, after taking the details he simply went away without confirming anything.

Haha..
, lets see when I can have change in the PCC status. Not sure, why its taking so many days after a police verification.Sounds like BLS/ Consulate just make rules up as they go.... Sorry you are being harassed in this way by BLS...
Hey Ishreet, once you get the email that police verification has been started.. Just wait for like 2 days and then go to your local police station to confirm if they have received the verification request. if yes then follow up with them to complete the verification ASAP. I got my PCC certificate from Ludhiana itself in less than a month. The key here is to follow up with them regularly.
Hi @Jenka ,
So sorry BLS is making you run around in circles like this. I can't imagine the stress and despair you are going through.
As far as I know, in general you can't apply for Police Clearance Certificate (even for your home country) in a country where your status is a visitor (visit/ tourist visa). For example, I am an Indian citizen and was living in Singapore for 10 years. I applied for India PCC there while on an employment visa. However now, if I were to go to Singapore on a visit I wouldn't be able to apply for an Indian PCC, as I do not have a resident status there anymore. I would imagine the rules are similar to obtain an Indian PCC in Canada - you have to be a resident (temporary or permanent).
Now you mentioned in another post that you have been told by a BLS call center representative that you are eligible to apply for india PCC while on a visitor visa:
1. They maybe wrong and giving you erroneous advise (which they have done several times to me in the past, so I wouldn't be surprised.) BLS also made the mistake of not pointing this out to you the first time you applied.
2. Thy maybe correct in which case BLS was wrong in returning your application. If you reapply, you run the risk of them continuing this mistake.
Either way, BLS has made a mistake, and caused a huge delay in your process. Also either way, I think the chances of a successful application are low.
Curious though, why are you applying from Canada while you are here on vacation? Why don't you apply from India after you return? it is probably the most straight forward route for you.
my mother called one of the police man at dugri station he said no we donot do it so i was little worried thank you

First you have to apply for police verification from state police department website, then your police verification would come in the queue of your local police station. Local police verification officer will come to your address for verification. If they fail to contact you within 15 days then you can visit local police station for clarification.
