Today morning, Got the email from passportindia.gov.in with the subject as "Initiation of Police Verification Request(s)"
Hi, I just received my ITA under CEC. I don't see PCC in my document checklist but it seems like I should get one anyways since I visited India twice over the past 5 years. I would greatly appreciate if someone could post a detailed step by step breakdown of how to obtain an Indian police check(I'm in Toronto for reference). Haven't been able to find a ton of resources unfortunately
Go to BLS center if walk in available if not you can apply for PCC to send application to BLS center by courier
Under 6 months total, comes up to be around 5 months and a couple week combined. To be precise my first visit was 2 months 24 days and the second 2 months and 25 days, totalling 5 months and 19 days. My guess is since it's under 6 months, I haven't been asked to provide a PCC?

Guys .Its almost 17 days since the local police submitted the report. Still the status didn't change online. Should I be concerned. Its hard to reach SP office as they don't pick the call.
Yes, I remember reading somewhere that you need PCC only for the countries you stayed more than 6 months in last ten years. I was trying to find that in IRCC but couldn't find it.
Update
Its specified in this page

Ok perfect, I've applied anyways just to be on the safe side, but sounds about right.
In the same page, below example specified, so, its better to get the PCC and upload if possible
"Lailah studied in Spain between 2014 and 2017, for several 4-month study periods but she did not stay there for 6 months or more in a row. The system will not ask for a police certificate, but an officer may ask for one from Spain after she submits her application. To avoid delays, Lailah could ask for a police certificate from Spain and submit it with her application. "
