( as of this morning):
1)
Carry with you - The PVC request form issued by the KSRA, and one Xerox copy of the same form.
2) Walk into the
Commissioner's office (Infantry Road).
There is no parking inside the complex - 2 or 4 wheels (thanks for the warning Mack The Knife). For parking, drive past the C's Office, go past the first crossing, go past the second crossing, and park on the left hand side of Infantry Road (it's all one way).
3) Stop at the
Information booth inside the C's Office (a booth to your left as soon as you enter the gate. Inform the constable inside of your mission and sign the entry register.
4) Exit the booth,turn left and walk up to the
"Single window" section(it will be on your right, built into the main building)
5) Wait for your turn at
Counter Number 2 and show them the KSRA "request for verification" form. They will direct you to the Inward section located next door (do not go directly to the Inward section)
6) Exit the single window section and enter the door adjacent to it - the
Inward section is in there. The door is clearly marked "No Entry" so it's a good idea to stand at the door and ask for the inward section and enter when instructed to do so. This is the reason for Step 5.
7) Walk to the
second table on the left (in an open alcove just before it opens into a large hall).
The officer ( at a table abutting the wall in the alcove) will take the KSRA form and the Xerox copy of it. He will
stamp the Xerox copy and return it to you.
There is no charge whatsoever
If you have forgotten to xerox the Form: excuse yourself, exit the main gate and cross the road - there's a Xerox wallah almost directly opposite the main gate. Return to the Inward Section
9) For any enlightenment return to the single window section (Counter 2). they will politely tell you that:
a) You can go home now
b) The form will be dispatched to your local Thana that evening
c)That you will be paid a visit at home within a couple of days
d) that 5 days after Step 9-c) you can return to the
Verification section (located round the corner of the building) with your stamped Xerox copy and collect your Final Verification.
10) Exit gracefully with your dignity intact. The entire process will take you about 5 minutes
Note: the staff at the Bangalore Police Commissioner's Office are incredibly polite and have high regard for the KSRA. It's a good idea to be well attired and soft spoken (I live in scruffy jeans and HiTecs these days
).
This was my experience this morning. I'd like this validated by one other person before declaring it a formal change to the procedure. Will the Newbie next in line please validate
