If reports are delayed, the matter will be referred to the home department for follow-up action. In a major relief for applicants, police verification will largely be records-based. Candidates will generally not be called for questioning, asked to furnish additional documents or subjected to door-to-door inquiries, except in exceptional cases warranting field verification. Candidates who have been acquitted, discharged or involved in legally compounded minor offences may receive relief under the new framework.
