Urgent Help with PCC

[Aamy9900]

Hello,
I received my invitation last month and already received PCC from Indian consulate last week. However, I have to go back to India as an emergency came up. I am visitng India for 4-5 days and then will come back.

Is my PCC going to be still valid? Or because of this visit, I have to process a new one. I will appreciate prompt responses.
Thanks,
Aamir

If you submit your application before you travel, then you won't need to get a new PCC but if you travel before submission, then yes you will need a new PCC.

This is correct. If you travel post AoR you will not need a new PCC. If you travel before submitting your application, you must get a new one. You will also have to add the unplanned trip to your travel history.

You would need a new PCC if you travel before AOR
