FAQ
Common questions
Is PCC processed in the UK or do I need to go to India?
For most cases the Indian PCC is processed via the Indian mission in the UK through VFS Global. We confirm the route based on your circumstances.
How long does PCC take?
Processing times vary. Simple cases can be quicker; cases involving long-standing addresses in India may take longer due to police verification. We share expected times when you book.
Can a PCC be expedited?
Some PCC categories have faster routes. We confirm your eligibility and any Tatkal-style options on WhatsApp.
Will police verification in India be required?
Sometimes — particularly for applicants who have lived in India in the recent past. We confirm whether your case requires this and what to expect.
What is your fee?
Our service fee is shared on WhatsApp after the free case check. VFS and Indian government fees are paid separately.
