Updated 12/14/01: Important Notice to Immigrant Visa Applicants in India

AILA has reported that beginning from January 1, 2002, all the immigrant visa applicants over 16 years of age must submit "two" Indian Certificates, one from the local police station, and the other from the Regional Passport Office of your jurisdiction. Very important.

The certificates are required only in the consular processing and not required in the INS 485 adjustment of status proceeding.

Does this mean it is their own interpretation or from the books?
 
Consulate says

That If currently, you are leaving in USA, then PCC from nearest Indian consulate is enough. This might true only for Jan CPers
