- Check the police station in which your building falls: This was my basic mistake. I wrote the nearest police station to my home but actually it was some other station. If it goes to the wrong station, it is sent back to commissioner office before reaching your actual station. this is a long and tedious process which may not happen automatically. this can delay the whole process my a month or two.
- Check in the police station with 2-3 days of submitting your application: The application is sent very soon. so check with your police station about the application so that you can speed up the process if it has gone to a wrong police station.
- In case it is commissioner's office, you can go there between 3-5 PM with a copy of the passport receipt and a written letter and submit it. They will inform you where the Police Verification (PV) file is.
- See the site regularly and keep track of status. In case it is going slow then you can convert it into a tatkal. For this you have to go and get application from the RPO (this is in koramangala in case of Bangalore). If you go early better. It is open from 9.30 to 12.30 and usually has a long queue.
- If it is dispatched it reaches your post office in a day or two. So check with the local postman. If you do not collect the passport in 7 days it is sent back to the RPO.
- And lastly, if you need it urgently just apply for tatkal as the normal process does not happen in less than 2-3 months though the passport office claim they do it in one month.
- Also if possible do not change the address, then no police verification is needed. this is the most time consuming operation.

Hello,
I have made the same mistake. The website gives you an option called know your police station ( which is misleading). I checked the police station and there was one for HSR Layout and since I stay in HSR Layout I mentioned it as my police station. When I went to the police station that HSR 7 Sector does not come under their jurisdiction!! The status is still waiting for police verification at HSR Layout station
Please help, I have done the same mistake! Did you guys get the passport? How long did that police verification process take?? Should anything to be done from my side or just wait ?
Thanks
You will need to check at the commissioners office in case it does not get automatically redirected to your new police station in a few weeks time.
I made the same mistake. Although I got my passport but it's useless. I talked to RPO, they said I can't travel till PV is done and it takes 6-7 weeks redirecting the case.
Also, they should provide 'Know your Police Station' other way where you can provide your nearest PS name and they show details, current feature is very misleading, dont know who did in TCS.
