Indian Police Report Processing Times

[Aragorn165]

Hi guys,
I submitted my application on January 4 for a police verification report; it is now January 22. You are supposed to get a police report processed within 10 working days, and it has been 13 working days since the submission of my police report. The status tracker shows, as of right now, no movement whatsoever- basically, my application still remains in the exact same status that it was in the day I filed my application.
My question to any other Indian members on this board who may have applied for a police report is: how long does it take to get a report? And what is my recourse if it is taking far longer than it should be?
Please let me know, as I've already declined an ITA once before because of a lack of a PCC, and I'm getting antsy waiting for this one to clear.

I live in Chennai and did it online thru eSeva. I fixed up an appointment thru eSeva and visited the Passport Seva Kendra(PSK) at the appointed time, and they gave me the certificate same day after all verification

I did the exact same things, but I have not yet received the certificate. I did receive a sort of receipt that said that I had applied and paid for the report, but the actual certificate? I haven't received that yet, and it's been 18 days.

An entry will be made on the passport too? So, have you left the PP with them? Try calling them

I did not leave my passport with them, no.
I went there, I paid for my application, I had to go through three separate booths, where they took my biometrics, verified my identity and passport, took some photos, asked basic questions, and then issues me a receipt, assuring me that I would get a PCC issued in 5-10 days. But I don't think they did anything to my passport, no.
I tried calling the 1800 helpline number on the website, but that just leads to an automated voice recording system that basically told me to call my local thana/police station to get more details.
