With the surge in demand for Police Clearance Certificates (PCCs), the Ministry of External Affairs is adding PCC services to all online Post Office Passport Seva Kendras (POPSKs) across India as of September 28.

A surge in demand for Police Clearance Certificates (PCCs) has led the Ministry to decide to add the ability to apply for PCC services at all online Post Office Passport Seva Kendras (POPSKs) across India starting on Wednesday, 28 September 2022.

By extending the PCC application facility to POPSKs, the Ministry is helping Indian citizens seeking employment abroad, and also meeting the demand for other PCC requirements, including education, long-term visas and emigration.

MEA signed an agreement with Tata Consultancy Services Limited (TCS) earlier this year to carry out the second phase of Passport Seva Program.

The Ministry of External Affairs today signed an agreement for the second phase of the Passport Seva Programme (PSP-V2.0) with M/s. The ministry had announced in a press release that Tata Consultancy Services Limited had been selected as the project's service provider.

Additionally, the PSP-V 2.0 will introduce e-Passports for enhanced customer satisfaction, improved security, and a new level of citizen experience.
