Does anyone know how to get PCC for NRI's?

I am a Kenyan citizen with OCI residing in Mumbai India. I need to know how to get a PCC for my visa interview for USA, the regional passport office provides PCC for Indian Citizens only, I am a dual citizen and hold an OCI card and have been living in Mumbai for almost two years now. I have searched hundreds of forums but seems like my problem is very unique please provide some input. Thank you.

You need a police clearance, passport office will not issue you a PCC as you do not have a Indian passport.

For Mumbai you have to apply at CID HQs and they would send request to all the local police station under whose jurisdiction you have stayed in Mumbai.

So your local police stations sends report back to them and than they issue a letter saying there is no pending cases against you etc.

Check out the official directions/information from the State Department. It's actually the District Police Station for OCI holders.

Any update on this? I'm an Australian of Indian origin, residing in Jaipur. Any clue how I should go about getting my PCC?

Hi I am a South African of Indian origin residing in South Africa.  I thought our cases are somewhat similar.  How did you get your PCC?

thanks
