Hi All,
I have secured a job offer and employment contract from a large multinational company from Germany. I wish to apply for a EU Blue Card and have the following queries that need answers. I will be applying for a Germany National Visa - Employment Visa - Long Term at the Mumbai Consulate. I understand that the EU Blue Card can be obtained only after reaching Germany and registering with the local Foreigner's office. Please help with following queries:

1. Will a handwritten form be accepted?

Yes Accepted

2. I will be looking for an apartment after reaching there. What local residence address should I provide?

Give your company address at the moment.

3. Duration of stay should be upto when?

leave it blank

4. My employment is permanent. What should be the 'to' date?

leave it blank

5. Are approvals by Federal Employement Agency still provided for EU Blue Card applications?

Every work permit will get approval from ZAV(degree certificate evaluation) and also Federal employment agency. 

6. My spouse and child will be joining me after 6 months. 6. Should I answer "No" to the question on whether family will accompany you?

Why after 6months, you need to have proper reason for that.

7. What should the answer to the question "Do you intend to maintain your permanent residence outside Germany?" be? If I answer yes, will that create any problem while applying for PR later? say NO

You cant maintain your residence outside the germany while working in germany.
Hope all are clear to you..
All the best
