Visiting native place once a week DOES NOT constitute/make it your current address. One issue i cannot understand is why the passport office guys gave u a passport in the first place and later send u letter, I guess someone seeing your application file later realized the mistake and tried to go by their usual rules, but u r going to be badly affected ( ie inconvenienced) since u r already abroad. Only thing for u to do is approach the Indian Consulate/Embassy in the country u r currently residing and talk to someone there. If they at the RPO dont receive reply/response from u in a stipulated time-frame they might make good their threat and cancel your passport and then u will be in a ROYAL MESS stuck in a foreign land as an Illegal (without valid travel documents ie). So better go immediately to nearest Indian Consulate/Embassy and talk to them.

You are lucky your passport has expired, had it fallen into wrong hands your life would have been finished. Its not a joke. 3) To apply for new passport in case of lost passport, you need a copy of police complaint. 4) In case of expired passport again police verification is needed. 4) Police ask a lot of question in case of passport lost, its a headache process, you will soon understand what i mean.

Apparently a blank passport means ECNR by default, only ECR will be stamped if ineligible. Also, to the poster Kumar above me, i received my old passport along with the new one. It had a punched hole in the back cover. You have to submit it with your reissue application and will get it back only with the new one. My old passport was issued at the bombay (worli) passport office because i was staying at colaba earlier, and the new one is at the thane passport office because i'm in new bombay now. There was no police process. Don't know if the same will apply inter-state. Also, someone told me, if the police ask for a bribe, simply refuse. They will have to eventually either forward or reject your verification form. And they have to have a good reason for rejection, not 'bribe not paid'! Sorry, i should have researched more before posting. Apparently a blank passport means ECNR by default, only ECR will be stamped if ineligible.

Also, to the poster Kumar above me, i received my old passport along with the new one. It had a punched hole in the back cover. You have to submit it with your reissue application and will get it back only with the new one.

Went to the thane passport office and waited 1/5 hours for my turn. Received the passport on the 24th of january. awesome job, thane passport office! and even though there was a change of address, there was no police verification. so i guess the police verification is more for identity rather than for address. I've got a doubt, my old passport had an ecnr/ecr page (no. 2). since i didn't have encr status when i first got my passport, this was added later as a stamp on another page. My new passport has no such printed ecnr page. Does this mean my passport hasnt got the ecnr status and i need to get it added later? I had applied for reissue of my passport on the 27th of december.

My passport expires in September 2011 and I have been very tardy in getting it re-issued. After reading your blog, I'm terrified of being without a passport - what's worse is that my passport was issued in Calcutta when I lived and schooled there (my parents reside there permanently). I have been working in Bombay for six years now and the thought of another police verification is irritating. Doubtless I'll have some unofficial 'fee' to pay to expedite such a (pointless) verification. Are you sure they will return the old passport immediately? My brother never got back his old passport at the time of reissue. Very interesting read Amit! My passport expires in September 2011 and I have been very tardy in getting it re-issued.

My passport is expiring in about 6 months. However, your suggestion of first getting the address changed and then reissue would be twice the cost since each of these operations cost Rs. 1,000 if i'm not mistaken. Thanks for the reply Amit.

There are no less hurdles to gather documents for Tatkaal scheme. a) You need to have a Verification certificate Annexure F (http://passport.gov.in/cpv/ANNEXUREF_vc_tatkaal.htm) to be signed by competent Authority b) Continuous stay of more than one year at one address. (On rent you have a lease of 11 months) c) Documents of proof of residence like ration card etc which obviously are very tough to get on rented house. Hi Mayank, I applied under the normal process.
