Guidelines for Indian passport holders |
|
- Your
passport is a valuable document. It should always in your custody or in the
custody of a person duly authorised by you. Passports should not be sent out
of the country of residence by post. If lost or destroyed, the fact and
circumstances should be immediately reported to the nearest Indian Mission
and the local Police. Also keep a photocopy of your passport in a safe
place. Without these, the issue of a new passport may be delayed.
- Under the Passports Act 1967, it is an offence to give false
information in the application. Passport facilities can be denied on grounds
of suppression of factual information, submission of false particulars,
willful damage of passport and for making unauthorized changes in the
passports.
- Your passport can be impounded or revoked by the Government of India
under the provision of the Passports Act 1967 in which even you will have to
surrender the passport to the nearest Indian Passport Authority.
- Application forms should be filled in fully, legible CAPITAL
LETTERS, accurately with blue or black ink only.
