Police verification

Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 28 October 2022 This query is : Resolved
I gave an interview recently and after that I got an email with a list of documents the company requires, before giving me an offer letter. In that list is a requirement for Police Verification. I communicated with the company to provide me with a letter stating that the company requires a Police Verification. The HR said, it is company policy that they will not be issuing any letter on their letterhead for a person who is not an employee.
The Police require a letter from the company asking for a Police verification(compulsory document, even mentioned on the website), but the company is refusing to give a letter on the basis that it has not yet given me an offer letter.
I have 2 questions...
1. Can a Police Verification be done without a letter from the Company hiring? Is there anything called a Police verification on an individual basis(the HR emailed me telling me I should do this, even though the website for Police Verification does not have an option for this)?
2. What alternative if any exists?

I have read through a few documents and I cannot find a way out. Requesting your help.

While joining the company a form with the name "character and antecedents" will be given to the selected candidates and the candidates fill in it and handover the HR/employer. Then he sends it to the SP of the Police for verification.

It is duty of HR of company (employer) to get police verification before recruitment an employee.

Yes, it is the responsibility of the employer to get the character and antecedents verified, following the due process.
