As the name suggests, the PCC, or Police Clearance Certificate was created to protect the interests of both Indian immigrants and the countries to which they immigrated. It acts as a safeguard for the hosting country to ensure that the bearer is free of any criminal charges or malice. However, it is only required for Indian personnel’s who are traveling abroad for work, as well as those who have applied for a residence permit or a long-term visa. People traveling for temporary basis such as vacations, do not require to obtain a PCC. Further, the procedures for acquiring a Police Clearance Certificate are divided into two categories: ECR countries follow one set of procedures, while non-ECR countries follow a different set of procedures. Individuals with differing sets of ability, qualification, gender, and whether they're emigrating through a recruiting agent must follow different procedures for ECR nations.
Only 17 countries require this check. These 17 countries are -
Afghanistan, Bahrain, Iraq, Indonesia, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Jordan, Libya, Lebanon, Malaysia, Oman, Qatar, Sudan, Syria, Thailand, UAE and Yemen.
