Thanks Ottawa_nerd,
I checked the website and it says this:
"...
DO NOT attempt to obtain police certificates from the following countries. Buffalo RPC will inquire on your behalf:
Afghanistan, Angola, Bangladesh, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cape Verde, Central African Republic, Chad, Congo, Cuba, Djibouti, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Guam, Guinea, Guinea Bissau, Haiti, India, Iraq, Ivory Coast, Kampuchea, Korea (South), Laos, Liberia, Mali, Mauritania, Mexico, Mozambique, Myanmar, Nepal, New Zealand, Niger, Northern Ireland, Pakistan, Rwanda, Sao Tome E Principe, Saudi Arabia, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Somali, Sudan, Togo, Venezuela, Zaire.
..."
DOES THAT MEAN I NEEDNOT SUBMIT A PCC, IF I WOULD BE APPLYING FROM BUFFALO RPC?
Can you share your experience on a similar case before? Iam surprised & confused. Please advise.
Thanks a lot.

(With corrections from Bighead due 
), I submit the following information
If you have lived in India, all your life, and apply for a Canadian PR visa from within Canada then you do not have to submit a PCC from India. The Buffalo PCC will do that check for you. If, however, you have stayed outside India for more than 6 months in any of the non-exempted countries then you would need to submit PCC's from all such countries. I escaped that, as my stay in Germany (the only other coutry that I stayed) was limited to 4 months only.
Please be advised that this was based on rules prevelant during 1999-2000. I am not aware of current rules (but as per the info on CIC/and that website), I think the rules have not yet changed.
Hope this helps

Thanks Ottawa_nerd,
Yes, I have lived in India all this time, except for a 3-month trip to US on a B-1 Visa. So, I guess Iam on the same boat as you were when applying.
But Iam not sure whether this is good or bad news for me 
How does Buffalo PCC do the check on their own? Does it mean more time for PR? I am counting heavily on the shorter processing time at Buffalo consulate (12-18 months)..Please correct me if mis-informed.
I hope Iam not bothering you too much with these queries. Thanks a zillion for these tips on PR..

"Aap phal khaiye, ped ginne ki kya zaroorat hai"...
would be my simple answer..as I myself dont know how they do it ! So there is nothing "good / bad" abt it ! You "fill it, shut it and forget it", till you get a letter informing you that
1.) You either have to attend an interview in the USA or (bad luck! Visa ka jhamela...USA wala )
2.) Have to submit your medical reports and Fingerprints (Baal baal bach gaye !)
Hope this helps

Dear Sir,
A million thanks for the quick replies!
I wonder if you are in Ottawa or elsewhere? It must be pretty late for you. I get your point and pray for the interview waiver! By the way, is my expectation of 12-18 months OK? I wish it is , as I would like to see things work out by the time I graduate!
Thanks again. Good night,
Cooler

A realistic estimate (who knows you may get it earlier) ... Whether you get it before you graduate completely depends on you. If you have work experience in India, then it will surely expediate the process. If not then you have to show some work experience (preferably by hook and not by crook). Yeah its 7:00 am here @ Ottawa..

Good morning ji!
I didn't want to disturb you more today, but Iam finding your posts very interesting and resourceful. Would you mind, if I send you my profile (privately) and seek your advise on my case?
Thanks in anticipation,
Cooler
