PCC reply from Chennai
All,
I have been posting info on this thread with whatever info I been getting after doing some digging around. It is up to an individual to decide the best for itself.
I shot three e-mails to three consulates (New Delhi, Chennai and Mumbai) yesterday to get to the bottom of the issue. I received a reply from Chennai and Mumbai only. Both the replies are different.
My Conclusion: PCC is required and is atleast valid for 6 months. So folks, to be on asfer side and to avoid unnecessary point of discussion at the interview, try to have a PCC which is valid for 6 months on the date of the interview.
My suggestion: Whoever might be using this forum to share experiences, gain knowledge about the CP process, or help others, please refrain from pointing fingers at any ethinc group(desi or pardeshi). It's not a part of healthy communication.
Good Luck to all in your endeavors.

Dear Consular Officer,
There are lot of rumors floating around about the validity of the PCC (Police Clearance Certificate) issued from the Indian Consulate in USA. I am presently in USA and will be attending a CP interview in India very soon.
Could you please confirm the validity period of the PCC issued from Indian Consulate in USA?
Thanks.
