My Poland visa is expired. Although my stay in Poland is legal as I have applied to TRC, I want to go back to my home country India
I am also in the same situation as my visa has expired but I have a stamp on my passport saying I applied for the TRC. Now I want to travel back to India permanently. You can travel back to India with an expired visa from Poland. Can you please share your experience? I heard that we should exit Europe from Poland itself, meaning fly outside the EU and then take a connecting flight to India in such situation.
Would please somebody share some info here?

You can travel back to India with an expired visa from Poland.
It's your passport that permits travel to India; the expired visa does not have a bearing on your departure from Poland (only whether application for TRC indicates you have not overstayed).

While you initiate your journey from within the EU, Poland, any connecting flight would have to be through a country for which you don't need a visa to transit, or for which you obtain a visa (either in advance or, if eligible, on arrival).
