Police Clearance Certificate Requirements India

[kselman100 0]

I'm trying to figure out the Police Certificate Requirements for the Delhi Embassy. According to this chart we don't need a PCC from the passport office, just the one from the local police head quarters. I managed to get a hold of the NVC yesterday and the said they sent out a notice that we need to get a 2nd PCC (from the passport office) but after doing some research it looks as like we don't need the passport office PCC because none of the scenarios in the chart apply to my wife's passport.

It was issued 3 months before we submitted our I-30 and it's been valid for over 1 year now... I'm wondering where the info from this chart came from and if it's correct...
