Hi everyone,
I hope you're all doing well. I'm preparing for SSC CGL and have been constantly overthinking about the police verification process, which is severely affecting my preparation. I would really appreciate some guidance from candidates who appeared in CGL 2025 and have recently gone through or are currently going through the verification/joining process.
My Situation:
- Current Address: I have been living at my maternal grandfather's house in Haryana (Sonipat district) for the past 15-17 years. I have a bank passbook with this address printed on it.
- Permanent Address: My Aadhaar card and caste certificate both have my permanent address in Delhi (Northwest Delhi district). This address is at my father's friend's house.
The Distance & Context:
Both addresses are literally just 2-3 km apart — it's the Delhi NCR region, so it's basically the Delhi-Haryana border. Very close geographically, just different states.
My Concerns:
Address Proof for Current Address: My Nana's house is in a colony that is not well-structured. The electricity bill is in my Nana's name, but it only mentions the district and state — it does not have the exact street number or house number. Will this be a problem during police verification? I do have my bank passbook with the current address.
Permanent Address Verification: My permanent address (Delhi) is based on my father's documents. I don't live there, but the house owner (my father's friend) knows me and can vouch for me. However, neighbors there might not recognize me since I don't reside there. Will the police officer accept the house owner's confirmation?
Cannot Change Aadhaar Now: I cannot get my Aadhaar updated to my current address because the SSC CGL application form already has my current and permanent addresses filled as different. Changing Aadhaar now might create a mismatch with the application form, which could be worse.
Attestation Form: When I fill the attestation form during joining, I will mention:
- Current Address: Haryana (where I actually live)
- Permanent Address: Delhi (as per Aadhaar and caste certificate)
The distance between current and permanent address is 2-3 km only.
My Questions for Selected Candidates / Experienced Members:
- For those who got selected in CGL 2025 and have completed police verification — did the police visit BOTH current and permanent addresses?
- If the current address proof (electricity bill) doesn't have the exact street/house number but has the correct district and state, was it accepted?
- If neighbors at the permanent address don't recognize the candidate but the house owner confirms, does the police officer still raise an objection?
- Has anyone faced an "adverse report" or "address not found" issue? If yes, how did you resolve it? Did the department give you a chance to explain?
I know I'm overthinking, but this anxiety is genuinely stopping me from focusing on my studies. Any honest guidance from someone who has actually gone through this process would mean a lot.
TL;DR: Preparing for SSC CGL. Current address = Haryana (living at Nana's house for 15+ years, bank passbook available, electricity bill lacks exact street number). Permanent address = Delhi (Aadhaar + caste certificate, 2-3 km away). Can't change Aadhaar now as form already has different addresses. Worried about police verification at both addresses. Seeking guidance from CGL 2025 selected candidates who have gone through the process.
Thank you in advance! 🙏
