Are you going abroad...you will need police clearance certificate
28-10-2017 Sat 12:50

It might be for any reason...education, job or some foreign trade. Those who are preparing to go abroad, need to take Police Clearance Certificate. Why this necessary, who should take it and how, is explained here.
Indians going abroad need a Police Clearance Certificate (PCC). However, it is not for everyone. PCC is a must for those who have applied for residence in the foreign country, those going in search of jobs, and those who have applied for Visa, for a long stay abroad. Tourists, who visit a foreign country just for sight-seeing are not given PCC. Passport office in External Affairs ministry takes care of this.
Eligilibility

Unskilled labourers and women workers, who are going abroad should submit a copy of the appointment order from the foreign companies, while applying for PCC. The Indian High Commission in that country should approve this. Copies of address proof, passport and VISA (if available), should also be submitted. Those who have been recruited abroad through agents, should take a Registration certificate from External Affairs ministry, for protection of migrants. Women workers going abroad through agents, should submit all the above mentioned documents as well as appointment orders attested by the Indian High Commission.
Non-ECR countries

Why?
After applying for the passport, there will be police verification. That is, police will inquire if the applicant has any history of crime, if the personal info is right and h/she is living in the address mentioned, etc. After the inquiry, they will submit a report to the passport office, on the findings. If everything is right, the passport authorities will issue passport to the applicant. Some countries demand PCC from those who apply for VISA. Those who are already settled abroad, should apply for PCC via the Indian High Commission website or directly. All proofs should be attached. The Indian High Commission office will send the application to the passport office. Passport officials will issue PCC after examining all factors.
If the applicant is depending on a government employee, PCC is not required. If there is a any difference between the present address and permanent address, PCC is not issued immediately. It will depend on the verification report from the nearest police station. If passport has been issued to the applicant when h/she was a minor, PCC can be obtained after attaining the legal age of adulthood. PCC is issued only after police verification.

You will need to go to the passport office in your area to apply for PCC. For applying online, through passport authorities, visit site: http://www.passportindia.gov.in/AppOnlineProject/welcomeLink.
