Need Police Clearance Certificates? Head to POPSKs from Sep 28

 - Sakshi Post

New Delhi: Getting a Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) is set to become easier as the Ministry of External Affairs on Monday announced that people can apply for PCC at all online Post Office Passport Seva Kendras (POPSKs) across India. POPSKs would start this facility from Wednesday, 28 September 2022. 

This decision was taken to address the unanticipated surge in demand for Police Clearance Certificates, a statement here said. This is one of the steps being taken by the MEA to improve the citizen’s experience while availing passport related services. This step would significantly add to the availability of PCC appointments slots, and at an earlier date.

“The action taken by the Ministry in extending this PCC application facility to POPSKs, would not only help Indian citizens seeking employment abroad, but also meet the demand for other PCC requirements, such as in the case of education, long term visa, emigration etc.,” the statement added.
