Guys, don\'t worry...
When I called the Mumbai Consulate the lady sounded as though it\'s good to have the PCC but don\'t sweat if you don\'t. But she specifically said that "Yes", PCC is required for my interview on Jan 17. I don\'t think they\'re gonna bother too much unless you\'ve had a criminal record (which I\'m sure they\'ll be determining behind the scenes). Try applying for one and carry the receipt with you. If asked, tell them that you\'ve applied for one but it didn\'t arrive in time for the interview. I think you guys should be OK with the receipt. This is just my **personal opinion**.
