So, for first 2 point what proof do I need to submit.
For 3rd Point can I apply from Hyderabad having resident address of Ahmedabad??SO that I need not to go to Ahmedbad…

Please can you provide the following information at earliest…………

I want to apply passport for my son. My wife has maiden name on passport and we don’t have each other name included in passports (alos does not mention Martial status as ‘Married’). We marriage registration certificat & birth certificate. Will that be fine?

Would like to thank you for the above information, would like to share my experience of getting birth certificate from MCG office.

The location of Office is exact oppsite to Gurgaon Civil Hospital near Gurgaon Bus Stand, i went there on SUNDAY (pls. don’t amaze) MCG now workS 7X7X7 (all seven days from 7AM to 7 PM). the guy siiting at the desk was polite (unsual for govt. employee) he searched his data base & told me that they have received the application from THE CRADEL, i need to pay some 12 Rupees for one copy, he oofered his Computer for online transfer of 12 Rupees. after payment he gave me a receipt with commitment to deliver the same in 3 days ( i thought he is joking)any ways i got the without name certificate after 3 days, then he told me to sumbit the affidavit along with 17 rupees Fee for with name certificate & amazingly i got the same too in just 1 week ( no hassel no Bribe). my net observation- the entire operations of MCG has been outsourced to a company that has headquater at sector 49 in Gurgaon & these Guys / Executive in the age group of 24 years to 28 years works absolutly flawless & do not hesitate or strugle in telling you some information. overall great experience. once agin Thanks to AMIT & all the best to all who will go through this procedd.

A case where parents hold valid passport

Annexure I is not required
I got this info from RPO… in case of Minor tatkal passport following document is required

1. Birth certificate
2. Annexure H
3. Parents passport with atleast one passport contains spouse name
4. Address proof (any one passport having same address)

What about the Bus stops along NH-8, within the city limits of Gurgaon, it is really a matter of shock and surprise when someone came to know that there is not a single bus stop planned in such a busy stretch of NH-8. It’s a matter of shame for the NHAI,DSC and Supervision consultantsresponsible planning and construction of Jaipur Highway.

Nice to know that we all are optimistic of the great indian internet story and not considering it a bubble this time around. I guess thats why we see a new online store every second day. We have been affiliating with so many new online stores everyday and continue to develop relationships with the old ones. Hope we all are right and the best businesses survive the fight.

I am applying for my daughter’s passport she is 16months… What am i supposed to fill in places like marital status / education / profession that have an * (meaning compulsory answer)

I am from mumbai but working in hyderabad since 7 months. My passport is about to expire in month of sept 2012 and need to fly abroad in moth of June 2012.
Now when I need to apply for reissue passport, what is the best option to apply: Can I apply the same in hyderabad when my stay here is not one year old.
Can I apply under tatkal scheme as I heard that for tatkal I should have some IPS/IAS officers letter of recommendations??????

I found is quite interesting website Mydeals247.com which has No inventory on the Website, and everything is based on the interests of the Consumer. System Notifies the Consumer requests to all the Sellers Whoever is selling that particular Product or service along with the Consumer Budget. Sellers make offers and the Consumer get everything real time and that to at cheapest price.

I had a great experience with Mydeals247 I bought a Cell phone which I got a quite cheap price.
I would recommend you to try it once.

I need to re-issue my son’s passport(tatkal process).Are both the parents required to go to the passport office while applying?

Thanks

Can anyone please help
We want to apply for our grandfathers passport, he had a passport which i believe expired 30 years ago however we have no clue where it is , if its damaged or most probably lost , We have no FIR and we cannot file an FIR as we dont know where it got lost, since we stayed in different cities since then.

In case we apply with out furnishing old expired passport details (which i know is not okay)on the fact that old passport expired 30 years ago and did not have my grandfathers surname in it (so the name is little different now)

what i want to know is… is there a possibility that this can be an issue
also if in case so .. what max can happen…

please advise

Even I am struck with the same status of “passport application under review at the RPO”. Can I know if there was any progress in your case and if so did the status change??

I applied for a fresh passport and completed all the formalities, police verification was also done by 19/1/2012. Then the status of my application became “Your Passport application has been granted, Police Verification Report has been submitted, You would receive an email/sms once the passport is dispatched.” But today the status changed to “Police has completed verification process on 10/02/2012. Your passport will be dispatched after ‘Clear’ Police Verification Report is received at Regional Passport Office. You would receive an email/sms once the passport is dispatched.” Now my question is if the PVR was submitted earlier and the application was GRANTED, doesn’t that mean that police report was CLEAR ????

I am also getting the same status “Your passport application is under review at regional passport office”.

Can you please let me know if its the normal status or if there is an issue.

Did you get your passport?

Thanks & Regards,
Rajesh

Thanks for such informative article. I have few questions. I am applying for passport alongwith my son for the first time after divorce. I have not changed my name back to my maiden name, I am still using my husband’s surname. I do not wish to change my name also. What affidavit will i require to carry along with me as my school leaving certificate (which needs to be carried for birth date) carries my maiden name.

Also, as I do not have passport what all documents I would be required for my Son.

Hope to get reply soon

could you tell me following plz.:
1. if i apply on behalf of my minor new born in delhi, while my husband is abroad, then whose address proofs are to be submitted ( father’s or mother’s)?incase father has only ration card and pan card will that do ?
2. i have delhi passport , my husband has bombay passport , and we are in dubai since last June 2011but my baby will be born in delhi in march 2012, so what to write in present and permanent address in form I? and what supporting documents need to be attached?
3.other than Anx. I and sworn affidavit abroad , do i need to produce any other extra document for my minor passport?
4. If i cannot give original passport of husband as he will be abroad, so will my passport be sufficient?
5. My passport does not have husband’s name , but my husband’s passport has my name endorsed, so can its photocopy and my original passport stand alone work?

6. is verification certificate also needed and do i need to paste my photo alongwith baby’s photo on it.does the same needs to be done for Anx. I also?

regards,
Nitu Sharma

Please suggest what to do.

Did you have to submit the Annexure H Declaration on a normal A4 paper or on stamp paper?

My brother is applying for a passport (re-issue) under a tatkaal scheme. It says a verification cert needs only if one does not have 2 documents out of 14 documents mentioned as per the list. Is it required evn if we have teh docuemtns as mentieond tehrein.

My brother is applying for re-issue of his passport under teh tatkaal scheme. Is the annexure F which is verification cert necassary. Becasue as per teh list of documents required, it says if you do not have 3 documetns as mentioned under (a) to (i) you have to give this additional verification certificate. Someone advised us to take this certificate also even though we have 3 documents. Sorry i forgot to mention he is applying from Mumbai(worli) office.

Is it required to have Child’s name on the Birth Certificate, before applying for the child’s passport ?? Do the Passport authorities require the Child’s name to be there on Birth Certificate.. ?? Is it mandatory ??

Thnx, Nitin

My Name is Rahul saxena and my wife name is priya saxena. Both of our passport has name of each other and our passport was issued in HYD/2007. In my kid DOB certf(he is born in 2006) Father name is mentioned as “Rahul saxena ” and Mother name as “priya ” . The certf doesnt have saxena as surname for my wife.

When i am applying passport for my kid the offical is saying in DOB cerft of urs kid, the mother name should be “PRIYA SAXENA” not only “PRIYA”. Changing the DOB cretf is really a cursome process. Could you please advice how to sort it out.

Regards
Rahul

A super smooth experience (except for waiting in the queue, which is fine).

Reached Passport Office at: 7:25AM (I was 19th in the queue)
Entered sharp at: 10AM (Inside the office, I was the 2nd one in the queue for Minors)
There’s a seperate window for minors and government officials.
Submitted application and Was out at: 10:15AM !!

Documents I submitted:
1. Baby’s Birth Certificate
2. Electricity Bill (Recent and a year and a half old)
3. Mother’s Bank Statement (Original Submitted)
4. Anexure H on plain paper (signed by both Mother & Father)
5. 1st and Last Page photocopies of Father’s passport.
6. Application Reciept of the Mother’s new passport.
7. 1st and Last Page photocopies of Mother’s old passport.

Key Notes:
1. All photocopies should be self-attested (by both parents preferrably).
2. Take two copies of the documents. Make two sets, and carry originals with you for verification.
3. Parents need to sign aside wherever thumb impression is required (OTHER THAN THE FIRST PAGE IN THE BOX, ONLY BABY’S THUMB IMPRESSION SHOULD BE THERE).
4. Make sure you fill the 2 PP forms too.
5. No need to cross sign or take cross thumb impressions on any of the photos.
6. ECNR required : YES for minors. IN category use ‘M’ (which is for all children below 18 years of age).
7. Fill NA/No for all fields which not applicable. Try not to leave a field blank.
8. Only 3 photos were needed, i.e. the ones that were pasted on the forms.

For my case they said that police verification will happen as the address on both the parents passport is not the current one. Though my wife has already applied for a new passport (with the new name after marriage and the new address), but we haven’t received the new passport yet.

Its a super simple and a super smooth process. Please DO NOT go for agents !

FYI:
I unnecessarily had made Annexure I which was not needed. I believe it is needed only for Tatkal Applications.

Thanks Amit for starting this thread. It’s going to help many people !

First of all many thanks to you for posting such a nice information.

I have to apply for my one year old son’s passport under “Tatkal” at Delhi and I have the documents which you have mentioned except the marriage certificate. Moreover, my name is there in my wife’s passport but her name is not present in my passport. Will my application be accepted by passport office?

Thanks & regards,
Farooq

your site is very useful. I want to apply for my son’s passport and, I have couple of queries in this regard.

1. Is it really required to submit a seperate address proof, while applying for minor passport. My wife’s address on the passport is our current address.
2. I have applied for a passport reissue and I am still awaiting for my passport to come. Can I submit copy of my application receipt and mention that in the application form.

Thanks

My passport is getting expired on 03-01-02012. I want to apply for re-issue of my passport. I am a citizen of INDIA and permanently residing in Mysore, Karnataka. Can I send my application directly to Regional passport office, Bangalore or should I approach speed post office situated at Mysore?

We are planning to travel to Vaishno Devi next month. We would like to take helicopter service from both side. One thing i would like to ask.. If we reach Jammu at 6AM… It is possible to cover Vaishno devi temple along with Bhairav temple in one day.. keeping in mind that the helicopter service starts at 9AM and closes at 5:30PM. please suggest. Or we should stay at bhawan in night and then reach Katra next day morning….

I am working in cameroon,my passport expiry date 10,2013,before how many days i can apply for new passport,in stsrting of 2012 i am planning to visit india

I would like to recommend another online shopping website i.e. letsbuy.com. This site is also indeed a good website in offering discount and other stuff. I purchased a 4 gb pen drive as a test on ‘cash-on-delivery’ basis so I had nothing to lose anything if something had gone wrong. Overall, it was the good experience and I got my pen drive within given time period.

The above FAQs are based on my query on 27 June 2011.. Yesterday I applied the passport for my 10 months old baby. It was really a smooth and hassle free function. Here I would like to tell you about marriage certificate, It was not required in my case as I had attached it but the guy sitting behind the counter returned it to me.

So, I just attached :
1. Form
2. PP Form
3. Birth Certificate
4. Address Proof (It was my baby’s Bank Passbook.)
5. Passport of mine and my wife
6. and last Annexure ‘H’ signed by me and my wife.
7. Rs.600/- fee.

Thanks again!!

I have applied for passport on 18th may pune, till now havent received my passport.. its saying .. application in process..

Also, you dont need a Birth Certificate (BC) in Emglish. My daughter’s BC is in Hindi and that was accepted.

Thanks for the detailed info. I really appreciate your efforts.
I am also applying for my daughter’s passport. I am facing weird problem regarding thumb impression. It is not very clear the way impression lines are visible for adults. Is it ok or I need to make sure the prints of thumb should be clear. Did Passport Officer comment anything for this in ur case.

I know this weird but as you may also faced this with ur daughter.

Thanks
Vishal

could anyone correct me if i am wrong, i went through few official passport websites which says that there is no need for police verification for reissue of passports.

I loved the view of Bhawan from your Hotel balcony and would like to know which hotel is this?

1. Do we need child’s address proof? (applying with the same address as in old passport)(parents don’t have any address proof in India, except Mother’s passport that contains the same address that we want to apply with)
2. Do we need Annexure F (specimen varification certificate)?
3. Do they necessarily need both parents there? is it not enough that one parent is present with the other parents sworn affidavit from Indian High commision, UK?

please answer these questions to help me out of this miserable ordeal. thank you.

First of all please accept my thanks for writing this blog about passport for minors!

this gave me enough confidence to NOT go the agent route. may thanks.

i successfully applied today finally for both kids, fresh passport and a reissue after five year expiry. easy peasy!

many thanks again. i did not in fact need any of those annoying documents ie the VC and annexure I.

I am taking a cue from you and writing about this on my blog as well. will link to you with many thanks!

cheers

I had a query. I need to apply for my baby’s passport. My passport still has my maiden name and it does not carry my husbands name. Neither does my husbands passport carry my name. Is it required for either of our passports to include the spouses name in order to get our baby’s passport?

Thanks,
Pooja

I had a query. I have my maiden name on my passport and my passport does not include my husbands name. Neither does my husbands passport include my name. Will this cause a problem? I read somewhere that this is a requirement…

Thanks,
Pooja

thanks man this is very helpful. more than the rpo site!

i stood in line too on 3rd and was told effectively to bugger off. i had the same docs as you, including a verification cert. the problem was with the VC as the designation of the officer who signed it was not on the list of the passport office website.

anyhow, my passport is infact issued at delhi and now i am wondering if i should just apply without the VC, given your experience.

still wondering about the airtel landline bill and the hdfc statement….did they accept that? i have a gas agency bill and booklet too.

dude this is too tough!

1. Form 1
2. PP Forms – 2 (for police verification)
3. My Passport’s Copy (with my wife’s name endorsed on it)
4. Copy of my wife’s paasport
5. Marriage Certificate
6. Birth Certificate
7. Annex. H
8. Annex. I
9. Address Proof ( with my current address which is different from address mentioned on my passport)
a. Transfer Letter of HUDA
b. HDFC Bank Statement + Covering letter
c. Airtel Landline Bill
10. Letter to RPO reauesting him to process the application under tatkal scheme.

Verification Certificate was not required as my passport was also issued by the same passport office (delhi). But it is required in case paasport of both the parents’ are issued from a different passport office.

Also, i applied for surname change in passport of my wife. But i have still not received the new passport so i provided copy of my wife’s cancelled passport along with the cash receipt.

I hope this will help people who are in a similar situation.

Thanks Amit

Keep Up the good work

Thanks Sunil for liking the post and finding it valuable. I will again add all the information is my personal experience , please contact your Regional Passport office or FAQ (http://passport.gov.in/cpv/faq.htm)section on passport site for complete information.

Q.For Tatkal Passport. Annexure ‘F’ is required to be acquired by First Class Officer from Govt. Did you attach that?
A.We didn’t attached Annexure ‘F’ signed or endorsed by First Class Officer from Govt. Though the Passport officer asked for an Annexure ‘I’ and an application on blank paper to convert normal process to tatkal.

Q. Second what about the signature? who will sign on form? minor or parents?
A. All documents should be signed by parents except the application. the application including the Police verification form should have thumb impression of the child in black/blue ink.

Q. Requirement of passport copy from both parents is necessary or mother’s passport is sufficient.. because address on our respective passport is different..
A. I have attached self attested photocopy of the passports of both of us. The address were different on both the passports and in-fact we are now living at the third address. So all the three passports now has different address

Q.did you attached marriage certificate.. as we don’t have marriage certificate or any such proof..
A. Yes, we submitted the marriage certificate and date of birth certificate of the child.

I am applying passport for my son.
Could you tell me Annexure – I should have whose name in
I, name ……
This should be name of my son of myself.
In same line, please tell me for below column

[WORDPRESS HASHCASH] The comment’s server IP (69.163.229.102) doesn’t match the comment’s URL host IP (173.236.247.240) and so is spam.

even if I have bank statement from (ICICI, HDFC) and company letter(MNC) even that is not sufficient. even I cant think to take a driving licence because they too need a local address proof. so I feel I am not a citizen of this country right now

Tatkal generally takes less than 10 days.

@Urooz cameras not allowed but camera phone are. Infact coins , pens etc are also not allowed. The connectivity of mobiles are not too great.

another one,…………….. an nri, huf,and an individual can create an partnership firm?…………. is there any legal procedure? could you help me please?

You better carry original Hindi certificate , an affidavit stating the parents name and name of the child and a application on plain paper. The certificates in Gurgaon were generally issued in Hindi that time and they would call you a day in advance to check spelling and all.

Once you confirm the spelling they’ll take print out and next day handover to you after getting it attested by the authorized signatory.

If You get Any problem in passport delaying just contact PRO.Touts help will not make up. Make sure You submit the correct pappers, In my case PRO was very helpfull and i got my new passport…

About the old passport thats a new information as in my case (Delhi Regional passport office) the old passport was returned the same day with cancelled stamp once i applied for the reissue.

You could also speak to PRO at regional passport office in case of delays.

BSNL DNS is the root cause of the problem, so simply change it to DNS that works.

IMPLEMENTATION (Simpler) :

a) Double click the LAN icon on your system tray

b) Go to Properties > Click on Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)

c) Choose “Use the following DNS server addresses”

d) Update 208.67.222.222 as preffered DNS server and 208.67.220.220 as alternate DNS server

e) You’re DONE

Keep it up!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you ever so much! I am about to go for getting birth certificate for my son. I will definitely make sure that I carry affidavit with me to avoid delay as much as possible.

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’!

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?

Are you sure they will return the old passport immediately? My brother never got back his old passport at the time of reissue.

Iam using Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit and do not find the LAN icon on my sysyem tray and hence unable to use your suggesion.

You have save my work. really nice……….

I have applied for my passport in mumbai on the 30th of November under the tatkaal scheme. On tuesday the 7th it was sent from the police station after aquiring the necessary clearance to the CID for some other verificiation. How long do these formalities take? I was told that tatkaal passports usually take 10 – 15 days. What is the procedure once the passport leaves my local police station?

Hoping to hear from you soon.

Thanks

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.

You can apply up to a year in advance (and you should do so). You need to to have at-least one proof of your address. Ideally you should get your address change on your current passport and then apply for the reissue of passport.

When applying for reissue of a passport after 10 years, attach:

(a) Old passport in original with self-attested photocopy of its first four and last four pages, including ECR/ECNR page.

(b) Document mentioned at (1) (d), if applicable.

(c) Document mentioned at (1) (e), if the old passport did not have ECNR stamp or it was issued when the applicant was a minor.

(d) If there is any change in address, document mentioned at 1 (a).

(e) If the old passport does not contain spouse name, copy of marriage certificate issued by the Registrar of Marriage or affidavitas per specimen in Annexure `D’.

(1a) Proof of address (attach one of the following):
Applicant’s ration card, certificate from Employer of reputed companies on letter head, water /telephone /electricity bill/statement of running bank account/Income Tax Assessment Order /Election Commission ID card, Gas connection Bill, Spouse’s passport copy, parent’s passport copy in case of minors. (NOTE: If any applicant submits only ration card as proof of address, it should be accompanied by one more proof of address out of the above categories).

(1d) Government/Public Sector/Statutory body employees should submit “Identity Certificate” in original along with Standard Affidavit .

(1e) If the applicant is eligible for “ECNR” attach attested copy of supporting document .

Also, my passport is about to expire. I have changed my place of residence permanently. So do i have to simply mention the new address and show the address proof documents when i apply for re-issue or are there extra procedures involved?

thanks

Thanks again. You saved my day.

This is Krishnakumar, i got my new passport (re-issue) on sep 2009. But it doesn’t have my old passport number in the last page.

My old passport has other visa information which is having validity till 2017.They retruned my old passport on the same day with the status of “Cancelled”.

Please let me know if the new passport should have the old passport number.If so let me know what could be done.

Thanks,
Krishnakumar

My and my wife’s passport is expired in sept’ 2010. Can you help me to get it re-issued. What would be the charge.
shibu

LMAO!!!!

Sorry to hear what you had to go through.

Did you get your old passport back when the new passport was re-issued to you?

I have a UK Visa which is valid for 2 yrs. But my passport will expire in 1 yr. I am wondering, will i loose my visa when a new passport is re-issued to me? Do you have any idea about this? I have browsed several websites and blogs but got no answer to my question.

I have received a new passport after a reissue of my old passport.

My old passport expiry date (F) 20.06.2011

But my date of expiry of new passport shows 2 years validity.

Date of issue -16/08/2010 Date of expiry – 15/08/2012

What is the validity of a new passport after a reissue.??

Can’t we have a validity of 10 years??

Do they ask for Address proof even if the address is same?

My wife was not so lucky though!

Background – We stayed in Gurgaon for around 3 years and then moved to Dwarka. Tenure in Dwarka less than 1 year.

We applied for the passport in Dwarka. Police Verification passed in Dwarka. Police Verification passed in Gurgaon.
Problem – Two police verifications – both PASS.
Now, someone in the Passport office has to take these two files and club them together. We waited for 8 months – in between numerous trips to the passport office. Status – we will get the passport within 2 weeks.

Solution – Jugaad. We all know what that means eh?

I need to apply for a passport reissue with a change of address. Can anybody clarify if I need to submit both form 1 and 2 for the same?

Thanks in anticipation..

Debs

The information provided by you is very helpful. Needless to say that passport re-issue is a lot of mess around here.

I’m going through the same process as of now & its very coinciding.

Thanks & Regards!!

I read ur experience in Leh. I am a big snow lover and always day dream about snow and snowfall. Whenever I get a chance of leave from my office, I just drive down to Shimla or Kufri and other surrounding hilly areas. I have been to Manali and Dalhousie as well. Now I want to see something really beautiful and serene like Ladakh with snow. Please advise the right time to visit Ladakh (particular places) when does it open???? when I can enjoy thick snow there??????? How should I go, by helicopter or by road. How to contact these Helicopter guys and which taxi service is safe??????? How many days I need to visit ladakh from Chandigarh. If any of your group members plan to visit ladakh please inform me if they could also take me along.

Thanks and regards

Then work hard in the Office.

In the late evening play safe at the Machaan.

Don’t forget to go home …

Loss of passport should be immediately reported to the nearest Police Station and to the nearest Passport Office. Passport holder is responsible for misuse of the passport, due to non-intimation of loss to the concerned Passport Office. In your case you should inform the Chandigarh Passport office immediately.

You can also apply for Duplicate Passport (36 pages) in lieu of your lost passport. The fees for this Rs. 2500/- . You would also be required to furnish following :
F) CASES OF LOST/DAMAGED PASSPORTS: The applicant has to fill the passport application form and submit the same along with following deeds:

i) FIR in original

ii) First and last four pages of old passport.

iii) If there is any change in address, proof of address.

More details can also be found @ http://passport.chd.nic.in/

There are certain precondition and extra charges for the same but they promise to deliver the reissued passport within a week.

P.S:- Like the theme. I myself had used a variation of this theme a couple of years back on my blog

The ads are created to get the responses so chances that the number given is fictitious are minimal but this would be for commercial use for sure. The point is people can reach the advertiser without the publishers or ad network making any money.

btw you were very true about the font-size. I have reduced the font size

Don’t you think the font size used in post is a bit high, smaller size could do?

also, as a natural human instinct we like to hear from the human voices (so very true for all the customer care calls also where we eventually regret to speaking to a exec.) rather than scrolling and going through multiple pages. So displayed number may actually work as a deterrant to click.

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.

I have also tried Chrome today and now working on chromium. let’s see the performance.
I have also posted about it on my blog.
