It further said that this step would significantly add to the availability of PCC appointments slots, and at an earlier date. The action taken by the Ministry in extending this PCC application facility to POPSKS, would not only help Indian citizens seeking employment abroad, but also meet the demand for other PCC requirements, such as in the case of education, long term visa, emigration etc.
