How to clear criminal record in india , procedure for removal Police Clearance Certificate


17-Jul-2024 (In Criminal Law)
Hello, I was involved in a Cr.Case under IPC sec 509 and IT Act 2000. This case was filed against me in the year 2013. I was on anticipatory bail and later Case was B finalized in 2014 and. This was regarding the Engagement and Marriage process which went wrong and I had sent some abusive messages and pictures to my then would be wife, as there were some misunderstands and misbehavior by the girl's relatives. Now after a long time I married the same girl as the problem between the two families were solved. I work in a Multinational Company. They require PCC every 3 years. However its been more than 4 years the case has been B finalized but yet in Police Clearance Certificate, they still mention about the case Crime Number and and its B Final accepted by the Court of law. Its making me go through a lot of questionnaire and doubts from my employee. Is there any way I can get rid of this issue ? how to clear my name from police record?

clearing your name from police records in India usually means getting a Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) after your case is resolved like if you're acquitted or charges are dropped. You'll need to visit the police station handling your case, show proof of the outcome (like acquittal documents), and go through their verification process. The PCC basically says, "Hey, this person has no criminal record."

Sometimes, you can even get your records expunged (meaning erased) or sealed so they don't show up in background checks. But that's a more complex process, usually reserved for cases with no conviction or after certain conditions are met. Since laws and procedures vary, it's super helpful to get advice from a criminal law expert who knows the local rules to guide you through expungement or sealing if you want to pursue that route.

1. You can not remove your details from police record. 2. But, you can apply for PCC with respective police station. The PCC is certificate given to you, if court accepts 'B' report and order to issue such certificate.

Firstly .. u r the employee and the multinational company u r in is a employer ... secondly.. the criminal case would still remain, though there is a b-false report filed... u need to get a certified copy of the order copy carry the same to the concerned police station and get a clearance drafted and signed with a seal from that station and carry it with you all time ... as the name would be uploaded in the police site and can’t be erased/deleted though u were acquitted.
