Passport Office - Delayed passport issuance

My wife applied for passport on 4th july 2007 in pune passport office. We were misguided by people about tatkal scheme as nobody knew exact rules. So we applied normal. They said it would take 45 days. But after 45 days the status of passport remained-'police verification pending'. So my wife herself took police verification form and got it filled from...

Passport Office Very bad management

There is really very bad management at the Pune Passport office.

I wanted to share my bad experience I had recently at the Pune Passport office.

I had filled the application form online for reissue of passport of my Father in law. I got an appointment at 12.30 pm on 13th aug 07. I went there at 12.00 pm and saw that there was a very long queue even for people who got appointment after online application. It was a very long (around 50 people ahead of me).

I wanted to meet the Passport officer in charge but the security guard did not allow me as he was busy. So, i waited in the queue. At around 3.00 pm i got to meet the passport officer (Shri Suresh Kumar Menon). I told him that i had got the appointment at 12.30 pm and i am waiting in queue since last 2 and half hours. He said that we have problems of less man power, etc and we will try to improve the service. I had taken off some time from my office hours and had come to apply for passport.

Now, when my number came at around 3.45 pm , I gave all the documents and the online application form printout. I also had the authority letter for my Father in Law.

But, the person at the counter told me that my Father in Law will himself have to come for applying. But I told him that i had authority letter. But he told that dont u understand I told u na it is not acceptable and I cannot repeat since I have no patience. He said that authority letter is not allowed for online Application. I said that this was not given in online Instructions. But he said no. So, I said Ok ( i had no other option) and I left the counter. I went to meet passport officer again to get more clarification on this. But, the security guard did not allow me. So, I left the passport office and went to office with a lot frustration.

Next day, I had no option but to go to an agent and make that passport application.

This is how the system at Pune passport office is. I for the first time have approached an agent in life.

Passport Office Poor service!

My name is Swati Agarwal, I m from Ghaziabad, my passport was initially issued in 1997, at that time I was a minor. Right now i m working with an MNC, and my passport will be expiring in Month of Oct'07, (27th oct'07). My company has asked me for my passport details as my visa needs to be processed. I have been making rounds of the ghaziabad passport office. i have not seen a passport office as corrupt as this one. My passport was made from the Delhi office as there was not passport office in ghaziabad at that time, since this office is now there in ghaziabad i have to get my passport re issued from ghaziabad. I don't know what the hell is government is doing. we are comparing our growth with western countries and here we are still stuck in the old paradgim, not able to get out of it, the passport re issue policy sais that you need to pay Rs.1500+Rs.1000 for TATKAL reissue of the passport, but when you go to the passport office in ghaziabad the passport officer says, " I took a transfer to ghaziabad and i had to pay 5Lac for that, why should i make your passport so fast, i have spent some amount of money, i can process your passport in tatkal but you need to pay Rs.10000, so that i can renew it.

What rubbish, does it matter to us if he took a transfer or not, we never asked him to come here. i need a small job done for which gvt. charges, a total of rs.2500. but this man wants to fill his pocket.

My Question is what is the Government doing about this, as this is only causing frustration and irritation is general public.

Passport Office Indefinite Delay in passport dispatch!

I had applied for passport oin 5/5/2007(App Number:Z092726 ). The status on 1st week of July was that the passport would be dispatched on by 14th of July 2007.
However, since then it has been getting delayed every week dues to "Unavoidable Circumstances" for the last two months. Least what can be done is letting us know these "unavoidable circumstances" which are causing the passport delivery to get delayed almost indefinitely. Similar Thoughts would be echoed be many others who had applied for passport after 3rd May 2007.

I have posted my concerns a few times on the grievance link provided on the passport status page but so far I am yet to receive any response.

Hi Sir/Madam,

This is to bring to your kind notice that I have applied for a passport on 2nd June’08. I have visited the passport office twice but I have failed to get a satisfactory response from the passport office. The status shows pending on the website as well as on the data base with the official but doesn’t specify the reason for the same. It’s an inconvenience to visit the passport office and doesn’t get a proper response. I have cleared the police verification way back but don’t have any clue of the status of the passport after that. My passport file number is A020580 and I have applied for it from Delhi.

I would really appreciate any effort from your end and would request you to respond at kanika_mahajan479@yahoo.co.in with a status of my passport as a delay in it is ceasing a lot of opportunities that I am coming across.

Regards,
Kanika Mahajan

Passport Office Passport not dispatched till 6 months

My passport was issued by Bareilly Passport office but due to some reasons the passport was not delivered at the address mentioned in the passport form.

So, on my email request the Bareilly passport office had sent my passport to Ghaziabad passport office and informed me by sending a letter at my present address (Mangalore address).

According to the information provided in the letter, I had to take my passport from the Ghaziabad office but When I went there the clerk misguided me. Finally the passport officer informed me that they will dispatch it to my Mangalore Address...

But now it has been more than 6 months and I haven’t got it.. :-(

Passport Office Passport not received!

I had submitted my mother's passport on her behalf on 25-04-07. Her File number is B002796-07. The police verification was done and cleared. I kept checking on the web site for any updated. For past two weeks, the message broadcasted on the passport office web site is:

"It is to regret that due to unavoidable circumstances the dispatch of Passport has been delayed and will now be dispatched in a week's time ". We are still waiting for that week. My mother needs to travel on an urgent basis.

People beware!

All inquiries have been done and i have taken my passport no from the office but i didn't receive my passport and nor they are handling it to me and they have written over the board that the applicant can get their passport from the office directly.

I don't know why they people are making hell the passport office and i would say now i have to go by RTI Act so that they have to reply.

The fact which hey don't know is that responsible person has to give reply within 30 days or else the 250 rs /day will be deducted from the responsible person.

I personally visited along my wife twice to PRO and was assured to send the new pass port with in week's time,but till date we are waiting for the arrival of new-pass port from passport office Ghaziabad. We had been living in the same residence since last 18 years from where her last passport was issued from Delhi at that time which was received with ia month 's time. There is hardly any change of status except age. Delay of more than 2 years in issuing new passport in unwarranted. This is simply harassment to general helpless public. I being senior citizen can not afford to fatigues run to Ghaziabad,with hazardous traffic situation on the road.

I am a victim of similar circumstances having applied for three Passports of my family - my wife, my son and my daughter on 21st February, 2007.

Police verification for all the three family members was done way back and passports are ready for dispatch. But unfortunately, every week same excuse is displayed on the website that " due to some unavoidable circumstances these could not be dispatched and will be posted in a week's time"... This speaks volumes and there is no need to emphasize why dispatch is not happening.

I am yet to make use of RTI Act. But will soon exercise this option.

Passport Office Too much delay in issuing passport

I had submitted my passport application on 11-12-2006 at passport office Ghaziabad in general scheme ( of 35 days & Rs: 1000/-fee ). Though it is already 6 months over, I have not received my passport yet.

Police inquiry report has been already clear on [protected]. From the beginning of February,07 my web status page was showing " Police inquiry report has been clear and passport is expected to be dispatch on 22-02-07." I waited and waited and still waiting for the passport. I also wrote mail to RPO Ghaziabad but there is no response from their side.

I have already missed my training in Singapore two times just because of the delay in passport.

It seems they have taken general people for granted. I applied for my passport 3 months back and for the last three weeks whenever I check the status website it says passport will be dispatched in week's time. Contacting grievances cell is a nightmare you never get to contact anyone when you can you get same old answer "you case is still in process" even after having documents complete and Police report clear , they don't have any reason for delay.

I am trying to call in R.K. Puram off but their telephone lines are never attended by anybody. I think they are busy to take their lunch and gossip with each n others. They don't get time to attend the call. The staff is not interested to work, they came from their house not for work, they came only for REST. They think that everyday is the HOLIDAY.

He is true. I too tried to retrieve some information by requesting the public grievances department. Forget about the information, they didn't even bothered to respond to my mail at least with some comment. And their telephone lines are never attended by anybody. I think that post is vacant. One can try for that position, if interested. Yeah, I am serious!

Place of submission: Aligarh Passport Office
Total Waited Time till date: 4 months till date and my application number still not available on Website. No communication from Passport Office.

Passport Office Foolish customers in the passport office!

This is regarding the Hyderabad passport office Phones, While applying passport, they will give some land line numbers to know the status of your application the numbers are 040-[protected], 040-[protected], 040-[protected], 040-[protected], but if you are trying to call to know the status of your application, no body lift the phones, and only one number will ring (040-[protected]), rest of the numbers are always in busy stage, i think all other phones are they kept in busy, I have tried 4 days for the status of the application, no body picking the phone. This is showing how government services are.

I have applied for passport six months back on tatakal scheme but till now I have'nt received my passport. I tried checking my status in the online but it is showing the police verification has not been received. I tried calling up the passport office numbers mentioned on the site but there was no response from them. Always the phones will be busy or it may simply ring. But no one will pick the call. I really feel very bad on this government bodies because they feel they have the authority in their hands and they also think that they can do anything. This is not the way. So I am requesting the concerned person to take an action on these government bodies. Or else it would be a big problem for the people.

I am a fool, by knowing also, i am trying to reach Hyderbad passport by phone, just calling & calling I simply wasted my time.

The ###ers exhibited royally in web
Central Public Information Officer ::
Sri. B.Bala Bhaskar, IFS
Director to the Government of India and
Regional Passport Officer
Passport Office, Kummaraguda, Hyderabad 500003
Phone No : 040-[protected]/[protected] Fax No : 040- [protected]

Appellate Authority ::
Shri.R.Swaminathan
Joint Secretary (CPV) and CPO
Ministry of External Affairs
Patiala House Annexe, Tilak Marg, New Delhi
Phone No : 011-[protected], [protected]
Fax No : 011-[protected], [protected]

No use even the RTI. Everything simply waste the peoples time.

Finally what as a Indian Citizen can do is, wait, wait until the officers give to us. The kind of frustation makes them to scold as ###ers.

But, the other way is HYD passport office have huge demand applicants, which require 60 number of employees to solve the demand, but the total working employee for this only 24. so, 60 peoples work doing by 24 numbers. This makes employees to do more work, and they are not much satisfied.

to resolve these issues, the following officer need to plan.
Central Public Information Officer ::

Regional Passport Officer

Ofcourse he is a govt. employee, he can plan the best, but the execution will take atleast 5 years, becz I heard by him in the TV interview, he is introducing fast serives. But, its not worked out well, as he spoken.
