All the file size are under 75-100 KB, There is no special character. File names are simple. There is no space between name. All the files are in.jpg. Then why the hell, it is still showing invalid file name and character. It does not even showing which file is causing issue.
6. All my documents are between than 75Kb to 100 KB file size and in JPEG format. Yet the site still throws error message “File size Invalid or Invalid File Name.

im not able to download my character certificate from the Maharashtra police website. Kindly suggest a way.
sir I have selected wrong CP/SP office name while registration. How to change it?
There is no way to change the office. You have to re-register yourself with different mobile no. and then select the correct CP/SP office at the time of registration. That's the only way unfortunately.
Hope it helps.
The police verification is done the CFC is done. But the official hasn’t put the digital signature. How long does it take?

Mike, with your payment receipt and other documents, you have to contact police station which you have selected while filling up information. Timings and document requirements are also written in police station. Go with all those documents with original and xerox copies and show them along with 2 person who lives nearby you with their ID and address proof in original. After verification of all these, they will submit their report online to police commissioner office and then it will be issued online
