Good conduct certificate Conclusion
However, we must be clear. The good conduct certificate we will be talking about today is not the one gets after clearing high school. You remember those days as students/Pupil and started thinking of behaving well in class 8 or form 4 because you were worried about what it would say? Well for this particular certificate of clearance, it is provided by the Police. Or most well put the Directorate of criminal investigation (DCI).
Most of the times, this certificate is majorly used to determine one’s character before joining a college, new employment, the navy or even getting Visa. Most importantly to note is that this certificate is valid for only one year. After the expiration of its validity, one is required to make a reapplication. The good news is, even this, can also be done online.
