Respected all

I have been trying to formulate Financial Inclusion Index based on primary data where many variables like quality of credit, bank credibility etc. are measured in Likert scale of different ranges. Based on the literature, I have been trying for PCA (determination of weights) but I am not certain about its use for Likert scale variables. Do normalizing the scale variables before PCA leads to reliable results? Also what is a polychoric correlation and how it can be used in PCA? Kindly provide the valuable guidance.
