PCC for India - When and where to apply if am revisting India

[Siby09]

Hello All,

Could you please advise me on when and where to apply PCC for India based on my below situation.

I haven’t received my PR invitation yet, just trying to get my documents ready beforehand. I am currently living in Toronto and an Indian citizen. I am planning to visit India this month. I believe the PCC should be applied after the upcoming visit to India, right? If so

1. Can I apply for my PCC in India during my visit?
   
   
2. Or should I apply in Toronto after coming back?

One more concern is I re-issued my passport back in 2016 from Hyderabad, India after my initial one got expired and the new passport was re-issued under tatkal Service. I am not sure if necessary police verification was done for the new one under tatkal category, will there be any problem in getting my PCC smoothly?

Also this time I will be visiting to Bhubaneswar, India, I am not sure if I can apply for PCC from Bhubaneswar with a Hyderabad address in my passport. Please advise.

Appreciate your responses.
