With CCTNS Implementation, the process of Police Verification for New Passport can be done with simple clicks and no more bribing Police officers.

Police Verification for New Passports

The Centre plans to merge the process with Crime and Criminal Tracking Network and Systems Project (CCTNS), a project first conceptualised by the UPA government in 2009; this will eliminate the need of doing the physical police verification for getting a new passport.

With the implementation of CCTNS, the manual process of Police verification for New Passport could be simplified with just a few clicks. Also, the old process which resulted in bribing the local police officers when they come to verify the address and identity will come at a halt.

As per the Union Home Secretary Rajiv Mehrishi said the CCTNS, an exhaustive national database of crimes and criminals was expected to be linked with the passport service of the External Affairs Ministry. CCTNS will check the past history and background of the applicants with a single click.

National database

Mr. Mehrishi told reports “For passport credentials, police is already using CCTNS in some states. Police will be given handheld devices to upload applicant’s details upon reaching their home. This will not only minimize the contact of the applicant with the police officer to curb bribing but also reduce the time for getting the passport.”

After Home Minister Rajnath Singh launched the CCTNS project, which will connect all the 15,398 police stations of the county, Mr. Mehrishi said the CCTNS had been expanded for further use by incorporating citizen-centric services like – tenant verification, which could be done with the consent of the person being verified, connecting the network with criminal justice delivery system and quick registration of FIR in any crime.

Adding about the safety of the database, the Home Secretary said “chances of database hacking was always there, but enough provisions have been made to safeguard the same and National Critical Information Infrastructure Protection Centre had been employed for the task.

The Home Minister said the digital police would facilitate citizens to register complaints online and request for background verifications with just a few clicks. “The police portal will give 11 searches and 46 reports from the national database for state police and central investigation agencies. Central investigating and research agencies have also been provided logins to the digital police database to access crime statistics,” Mr. Singh said.

Mr. Singh said the CCTNS has resulted 13,777 police stations out of 15,398 to register 100% data into the software. He said so far, 7 crore data records related to past and current criminal cases is already there in the CCTNS national database. The project will make it possible to link about 15,398 police stations and 5,000 offices of supervisory police officers across the country.

  2. Good Step to ease the rule to make the passport thanks to the government decision in this direction. It is not helping us to get the passport in few days but also reduce the trend of bribe.

    • Indeed it is a very good step. Today I had an appointment with Passport seva Kendra for reissue of Passport after it was expired about two years ago. As per the new rule the documentation was made so simple and procedure by partially outspurced to TCS, service rendered was superb and extremely fast. I never expected it was so simpke. Even lay man an ordinary citizen can get the service without any hassles. The grant of no police verification was on the spot, being reissue, senior citizen and retired Govt employee. Everything was over between 9am & 9.46am. another surprise was that when I reached home I received a msg stating your Passport under printing and it will be delivered soon. Really INDIA is shining.

      • Hi,
        My passport has expired a year passed, could u plz help me to know where should I go to get it done n how to go about it.
        Thx.

  10. This is a good move. Bribing to police department is so common in society accross.. we need some how to implement lifestyle surveillance through enforcement.. audit and seize their pockets. It should be an open secret to public about total pay of govt. Servant so that public can raise alarm if the lifestyle is dispropotionate.

  13. How do one go about if the marriage was a bigamy and therefore no divorce proceedings and resultant no decree..? The passport has been claimed by the spouse as lost…and not on talking terms, how do we go about making a new passport in pre marital name??

  14. I was really a happy note that at least the future citizen of INDIA who want to apply passport doesn’t want to be dependent on the travel agency, avoid bribe and avoid unnecessary delay in clearing verification since not paid bribe to local.

  16. Good to know about the new rule, my first quarry from which date this rule will be in place; second is the same rule applicable on renewal of passport (even if some changes have been proposed by applicant like change of address etc.

  18. After reading this news i m so happy ..bcoz i always think tht i will not pay them when they will come 4 verification bcoz it is duty them . But now i can easily apply 4 passport no worry about it ..now no delay , it will make fast…Thank you 4 this beneficial decision…

  25. I am presently staying at Mehsana Gujrat, But originally from Meerut UP. I am working with GMGBC for last 3 and half months. . My permanent address is at Meerut and parents are staying there. I want to apply for Passport at Mehsana office. What address should I give as address of last stay. how police verification can be in Mehsana. Please advice

  26. Sir,

    Whether the system is already in vogue or being implemented?
    Any way this is going to be big step towards eradication of corruption and unnecessary delay.

  27. When i went to police station at Vastrpur Ahmedabad for verification i was asked to bribe Rs 200 that I refused. To my utter surprise that office was right on the first floor of Anti corruption department in the police station itself. I thank you very much to Modi govt. I have one suggestion to remove police indulgence in every possible way. In fact more laws are gifts to police Department to make money. Most police personnel are gundas. They help less and harrass more. Still most people avoid saving people who meet with accidents fearing that police will harrass every now and then.

    • Crime and Criminal Tracking Network and Systems Project (CCTNS), a project first conceptualised by the UPA government in 2009. Everything is not by Modi Govt., however, concept has been now forwarded / pushed for implementation.

  29. Well it will take 2 years to get implemented. Because just yesterday for my police verification a police officer arrived and did the physical verification of my identity and address proof. And simply left with the bribe of ₹500. It wasn’t initiated by my end he made the situation complicated. I had the rent agreement but not in my name. But he asked to give me the rent agreement in my name.

  33. Good initiative by Govt. Would like to clarify that Ghaziabad has 2 steps of investigation before issuance of passport.

    1st by Passport official or 2nd by police, will both closed/revoked ?

    If the both will remove this will really helpful concept.

  38. I have applied for passport, and in feb i was involved in a scooter accident, opp party gave a complaint and FIR has been filed against me and case is pending in court, now at time if police verification, the officer has given this remark of case pending in ciurt and not recommended my application for passport to the passport authority.. how can i get passport and whim do i approach and procedure please..

  39. My father was comitted in fir due to political revenge and there is no any record of that fir but passport officer demanding statement but police unable to find that record almost 8 yrs old …so what we can do ..we need passport and now feeling hopeless

  40. An FIR was filed againset my father due to only political revenge and that fir has no any record we have try so many times from police station but passport officer demanding statement of court so what we can do to get passport

  42. if a policeman,or woman,comes over to your home with a hand held device for verification,be rest assured s/he will exit with money in that hand! the only way to avoid police from taking bribes is to not allow them anywhere near you in your passport’s journey!

  44. Yes, that’s why I can love indian government. I am writing for this rules for a long time. Finally it came and many criminals will fear that rules is very important.

  46. My son recently applied for renewal of his passport. This is his third passport. A passport is a document which is used as an address proof everywhere. The funny part is, address shown in his valid passport is not accepted address proof for renewal of passport even when the address has not changed for last 25 years. Police insist on the latest electric bill and one-year-old electric bill or a letter from the society where one is staying as proof of address.

  49. I have recently applied for passport, wherein they have advised me for police verification by the local police station.
    On our visit it is surprisingly advised us to submit various other documents as listed by them though it is not mandatory as per the new rules.
    I am confused whether the new rule is applicable to all and that too to senior retd people,still need to run around.

  50. Sensible and progressive thought. At last the harassment and bribing done away with. This is a small step but many areas unscrupulous bureaucracy still on. High time to make them accountable and responsible.

  51. I/ we were the victim of the process for renewal of our passport.
    At the age of 72, holder of passport since 1972,, having visited many countries- last year when I wanted to renew my passport, I was put to police verification. The same was true for my wife.
    There had been circulars from Home Ministry and MEA, to exclude seniors for police verification in case of renewal of passport. But our sadistic babus sitting in PP offices, unless bribed are putting seniors for this exercise. And every body knows how the police verification is done in spite of good intentions of our new politicians in office.

    • There are a few bad apple left in the government machinery where the roots of corruption are embedded.
      We didn’t have this experience in Noida fortunately however this is rampant in New Delhi.

      • THERE IS NO VERIFICATION ON RENEWAL OF PASSPORTS IF DONE 2 MONTHS BEFORE EXPIRY . ITS DONE ONLY IF U HAVE CHANGED THE ADDRESS WITHIN THE CITY OR STATE OR UR PASSPORT HAS EXPIRED.

    • I live in South Delhi, in my case for issuance of passport and renewal police verification was done but Police Officer never asked for any bribe or favour. At the time of renewal police verification was done after I received the Passport. We have 4 Passports 2 passports were renewed twice but never faced any problem.

    • I have been paying since 1971. All know that we have to pay to the cop but everyone is closing one eye.
      Thanks for saving rupees five hundred of a retired person.

    • I had exactly similar experience.Corruption is so much imbibed that what ever good system is brought by the government,we Indians are masters to find a loophole.Alas this is the main reason for remaining under privileged even after seven decades

  52. Too much loss for Sipahi, Havaldar and SHO’s of all areas concerned. They did not even come to verification, they simply call u to visit at Police station at their end and suggests that they take this type of Whishkey’s etc. Govt should link all types of Veriftications with Aadhar cards etc.

  53. I am relieved. The police is so corrupt that when he visits our residence, he will fix the bribe, otherwise he had the audacity to tell me that he would write negative report. I am a retired govt. Official served for 40 years. This new rule will definitely a relief to citizens.

  54. I expect the implementation of new rules will be benefited to citizens. I also request to all co-operate the Government officials for implementation OF NEW RULE by declaring the correct information because false information submitted to get the passport also hamper our nations image. Hope for the best.

  55. Sir,

  57. A wonderful decision by government of India.Great step towards corruption reduction step and a step keeping up of the pride of individual.
    Many people who never saw a police station has to wait at the doorstep of the police.for most of fresh professional studies students stars life by bribing the police. Great great Jai ho Modi Sarkar. Some more is expected.

    • Hi sir my passport was re issue
      Valid March 17 2018
      Renewal 3 month before

      Track status :

      Pending for physical police verification at respective Thana under SP Office, what i can do ?
      or I go Police station

  60. Great news. Now hopefully we will not be forced to give bribes for police verification .

    The bribes were collected openly in their offices.

  62. Is like sweet dream come true! COMMENDABLE! Now it wii be easy to complete the entire formalities..CONGRATULATIONS to all concerned and the Government..For renewal also new rule to be applicable shortly…

  64. A very good initiative by the Govt. The contact of Police with public should be totally cut off. If there is no scope for bribery police will perform better. Since our legal system is dependent on evidence and collection of evidence is the responsibility of police, they tend to neglect, temper or hide evidence on the scene of crime if bribed. The Govt must work on this aspect too, so that a honest and poor victim does not lose his case because the Investigating Officer did not do his duty, having been bribed.

  66. In Pune the Babus straight away reject your forms for minor reasons , if u hv filed it online. u hv to undergo complete process with 5000 rs penalty . Such bull shit , beggers our Baus!

  67. I am resident of Dahanu Road, Dist Palghar, Maharashtra. My Son Mitulkumar Shah is Working with ‘Shell Petroleum’ group at Chennai. Recently he had applied for renewal of his passport on 3rd November 2017. As you say No Police Verification is needed for renewal of passport, I just received a letter on 14th Nov 2017 from Dahanu Road Police for verification of my son.. they insist that he must be present in Police station for verification on or before 17th November 2017..
    Hence he is working with multinational company, it is very difficult for him getting holiday & be here, by traveling about 3000 km in just 2 days
    Now what to do? We are confused..

  69. The word one should be aware of is “THE CENTRE PLANS TO”. Nothing has been done yet. Just keep track of if it is done and how long it takes!

  70. The effort made by the incumbent government regarding passport verification is highly appreciabe … This will almost Eradicate the mense of corruption and also make it convenient for everyone to get passport.. .
    Thanks

  71. Two days before I have visited police station to submit documents for my husband passport renewal. He got passport next day only. We were happy that it came so quickly but next day my husband recd a phone call and msg to come for verification. When he went there they asked for 7 type of documents which they never mention to bring over phone or in msg. They took out his photo and asked to submit documents next day. Actually on police website they mentioned to submit address proof, identity proof and photo. They asked either ration card or pan card or elect bill or bank passbook. Here in police station they want all. Very funny.

  73. It says centre plans. Is it still under planning or has come into effect. except in heading no where it is written that it is implemented. If in force, pl intimate date from which implemented.

  75. Yes it is true for on going police verification some bribes demanded by verification authority.It may be two time. we have asked to give some thing reasonable amount.
    If no police verification, this is a good step. We are Indians living in our country. A common man does not have any police verification.
    However before making passport of illegal person police should have own ways keep record and before making any passport, a secret report should be affixed by our police department instead a personal verification.

  76. It is highly appreciable, very good decision taken by the government and officials.
    with this time is being saved a lot.
    Thanking yours in anticipation.

  78. The reniwal passport should not have police verification but should b renuied immidetly with out any delay n sent to the passport holder . As it is only for reniwal . It’s not a fresh passport . So the work should b done fast n not keep for days n months .

  83. Police verification or no police verification, Whatever…. My problem is the TIME taken by government to do anything in this country. Be it passport, notarization, issuance of any certificates. OMG. Government is totally incompetent in India. I’m totally disgusted by India government. They are making live a living hell for common man. Uffffff…..

  84. Good step, it cetainly reduce corruption. but govt has no knowledge to make provision to compensate citizens in case of delay in passport.

  86. Renreal of passports of my son & myself r struck in GZB office as police at noida hs submittrd adverse report on acct of shory stay of 1 month. However delhi police hs submitted satisfatory report 4 last 26 yrs of stay. I hd visited RPO office also. But needful is still pending. Pl advice
    Thanks.

  87. MY NIECE’S PAPER IS PENDING FOR VERIFICATION ASKING FOR BRIBE DUE TO NOT STAYING IN THE ADDRESS SHOWN. hOW THE RECORDS GET CORRECTED WHEN WE PAY BRIBE, SAD….

  88. This is a welcome move. What is required now is to speed up the servers, and there should not be cluttering of these useful sites with commercial advertisements.

  93. Very good initiative by our Government, I am a victim of this police verification/ bribe system
    This step taken by our government will surely reduce corruption

  94. Nice Rule. For Police Verification for New Passports ..we are giving 1000 to 5000 rupees for fellow who is coming for Verification. I Think this rule will end like this bribery…

    Jai Hind
    A COMMON MAN.

  95. It is a great initiative. Common man will heave a sigh of relief, won’t have to see the face of burly police personnel coming home and demanding money and again, process will be much smoother. Of course, a lot of new measures have already been taken that have provided succor to the public. India is certainly progressing!

  96. The local police station( Madurai,Tamil Nadu) official asked Rs 300 for sending police verification report for renewal of my passport with same address but expired 3 months back).
    New rule will be good relief.

  97. Good step, it cetainly reduce corruption. but govt has no knowledge to make provision to compensate citizens in case of delay in passport.

  98. Lovely. This is a very good rule, if implemented. Thanks to the central Government. In some states like Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra etc. police will come to our home and verifies. But in Gujarat we have to go to Police station for Verification.

    • But it is still on paper not as reality when you will you have to face steps as it was before they are telling they don’t have any official notice like this.

  105. sir I am living in 10/16,10th, avenue, Harrington Road, Chennai 600031. which is a dead end road. but in the main harrington road there is a traffic restriction in the morning. Since there is no dead end road sign. bored most of the two wheeler and cars are entering the above road and there is a traffic congestion. Please i request your good self to install dead end sign bored. Thanking you.

  106. A very good decision by Govt. of India. The police who was to do my verification came and saw all my profile was unquestionable. So, without finding a way to ask bribe from me he said that since I am not residing at my present address since one year, although I have aadhar card, I would not be able to recieve the passport and would have to apply for a fresh new passport.

    I asked him is there any way out, so he said “Dedo kuch”. I said “kya?” Then I understood, and I had to pay him. I offered him Rs 1000, He said itne me kahan hoga Madam. I requested him “m a student, please Sir”. But he didnt listen, and after he got Rs 2000, he said aapka file kal hi process ho jayega. And also said “kisi ko mat batana”.

    That means although he could’ve processed the file, without bribe, he didnt. Moreover he is scared that I should not leak that out.

    Very good decision, such people should not be entertained

    • You are very late,this Govt is trying hard,but can not change the system overnight.I am sure top IAS/IPS do not know how police behaves with normal people.
      Have you ever heard top IAS/IPS officer visiting any police station with out informing that police station,NO

    • this is very good decision taken by government…. so many people are facing problem with police verification.. just verification is not a problem ,asking money is the problem… why should we pay money for police ..some police officers may do just verification I really respect them but some officers only for money they are doing their jobs so name of all police department is spoiling please I am request people who are taking corruption to stop.please stop asking money unnecessarily. poor people can’t pay you please consider them

  107. My passport is getting expired in 2018. and my residence address is also to be amended as per my Aadhaar card.
    So far I have not travelled any country.
    Please guide me what to do . Is it possible on line or I have to visit passport office to make the necessary amendments in my passport.
    Thanks and Regards.

    • Hi Yadav,
      you need to fill online form of reissue of passport since you are changing your address. Fill the new address in the application form and attach adhar card copy. You need to do all formalities as you done for applying passport. Hope your doubt cleared.

  108. The Cop take bribe for every task they do. Even if for a simple G.D or FIR. If it was passport case then amount was higher. Hope gradually every corruption will be remove.

    Thanks…..

  109. Excellent step took by government gradually step by step corruption will remove from every department Jai ho NARENDRA MODI KI JAI HINDUSTAN.

  110. Is the police verification/ submission of documents to police deptt. are necessary for reissue or after reissue of a passport? If not why the information is being sent to police deptt. and messages to the the applicant?

  111. Physical Police verification is still in progress for new password or it is computerized? Currently Police man want amount for this verification and force to you.

  112. Document like Passport is supposed to be an ultimate identity for one’s proper name, age and address. Therefore removing the importance of the address may not be an advantage for any practical purpose.But disadvantages are many fold.

  113. Document like Passport is supposed to be an ultimate identity for one’s proper name, age and address. Therefore removing the importance of the address may not be an advantage for any practical purpose.But disadvantages are many fold.

  117. Dear sir
    My name is Mohammad Firoj my old Passport issues in India patna passport office and new passport issues is Jeddah old Passport already police vertification is already done and till now i NO have any case i the new passport office check but i need to pcc sir passport officer will hold my pcc send re verification please give me better responses thanks sir

  119. I was surprised when Police personnel visited my house for verification with electronic device and verification done within few seconds which in the earlier periods takes 10 to 30 days . A very good implementation of verification which eased delivering Passport

  121. It’s really bold decision. I am victims of phisical police verification since 2 years .
    I had applied for passport in 2016 ,after filing I reaceived msg from passport office well as concerns police station regarding police verification and mag received” your police verification is initiated and as per mutual understang fixed time for verification.and if any inconvenience please contact the below ”
    After receiving the msg I had immediately made a call to said enquiry officer they said ok .
    After that attrandam calling me where are you ,I said in gaziabad ,they said where are you living ? I said registered address they said no you are not living here and they submitted reverse report .
    After that I again submitted the same to passport office ,again they submitted reverse report .
    This is give us a very bad impact ,since I am a responsible citizens of India,I am a Individual Tax payer ,also I am paying corporate Tax also.
    I have Linke my Aadhar to PAN card,Income tax,Mobile No ,Account number etc.
    Hope concerns department should review our systems ,when we are living in a Digital India.
    Regard
    Raman

    • The decision taken is good but it will be best when online verification will come into existence.
      I’m facing lot of problems now a days for my passport police verification, their is too many documentation and even after giving all the documents i dint received the passport, i had applied on 26th September 2017

  122. The initiative taken by the Government of India, now headed by our Respectful Prime Minister Narendra Modi is greatly appreciated.

    There are many commendable jobs done the existing Government under the leadership of PM, Narendra Modi. Great Job done sir……. We feel proud of you as the Greatest Prime Minister and his team India had ever had.

    With best regards

  125. ” Police will be given handheld devices to upload applicant’s details upon reaching their home.”- How does it help in curbing bribing then?

  126. Though this new set of rules has been there , still at rural part of the country still pays great amounts of bribe to the police just that they process the application even everything is correct. Yesterday I have paid 1000 rupees to the local police though I know about this rules , I’m helpless as I don’t know to whom I should complain about this. Hope this reaches the internal and remote parts of our country.

  127. I had applied for passport on 20-12-2017 and till date I didn’t get my passport due to police verification.This is all because of that I didn’t pay any thing to police.The same matter can have been solved if would have paid to them.The new system may bring a lot of relief to common man. As the bribe to police will be stopped,so this can be bad for police.

  128. I go by What Mr Anand Kumar is trying to say, that, Handheld devices are still with the Police personnel and they would input the details on their own, so the bribing aspect is not curbed but is still there…

  131. Police Verification still going on, In `December 2017 I was in India for travel and thought of renewing my passport and it went for Police Verification. I got the passport with in 1 week and police verification started after that, Police man asked Reson card , Addhar card, Votar card of mine including dad and mom, also he said what is the proof that they stat there so need to provide 1 year electricity bill, and written latter from my day that I stay there. When he say I stay outside India he started asking me lot of stupid question , took all photo copy of all my resident card, and started saying he wont be able to verify my present address. I dont understand how come local polish will verify my foreign address. He was giving me lot of stupid stories , also started asking me how much do I earn, how many flats do i have. I gave him 2000 to get rid of it. After a week he called me and said he got report from Border control that I dont stay in Indian so my present address can not be validated. I went to Passport office and they showed me the report stating ‘This guy doesn’t stay in India since last so many years and working under this company as ***, hence wont be able to verify his address.
    Its just harassment, should have done it through Embassy.

  132. Mr.Anand Kumar says exactly correct.Earlier Drama held at particular police station & now its going to be happen in the individual parties resident and again another one more chance given to increase the Bribing rating.

  133. This is a very good decision Mr. Minister. Police will perhaps now start thinking taking bribe is not a police right. In digital India we should search more options where rights of taking bribe is reduced further.

  135. A Welcome move. Appreciate efforts of Govt. of India. This will eliminate unnecessary interaction with Police and will save substantial time for citizens and police.

    In line with this Govt.’s moto of Less Government more Governance!!

  137. I have changed my residence from Haryana to Punjab.
    Do I need to get myself involved in police verification while updating my passport
    As per new rules, police verification has been eliminated
    Please clarify at the earliest

  140. very good concept and decision . methods like this only will keep corruption away from society.

    But long term and permanent remedy is to improve Morale of the people. let us pray God that morale of the people improves and let us start with ourselves first..

  142. I like the Govt. stand very useful as it will firstly eliminate corruption,saving time of govt officials,less consumption of papers as well as very easy to get it in few days.So Govt decision is very appreciative.

  145. Sir,
    Very good move but still I propose that “if the applicant is applying for 2 or more time to renew the police verification should be not necessary” coz his details are already verified before.
    Regards,
    Ashok

  148. But one fear is always there as there may be similarities in names of criminals and common man in that case what will happen. as the same incident happened with my Uncle he is BMC retired and applied for passport it stucked with police verification as police records had criminal with same name but aged 34. but till now from last 2 months they are trying to convey the same to police.
    Pathetic but true everyone knows why this happens.

  152. The decision taken is good but it will be best when online verification will come into existence.
    I’m facing lot of problems now a days for my passport police verification, their is too many documentation and even after giving all the documents i dint received the passport, i had applied on 26th September 2017

  154. One more rule with clear flaw. If police man is coming to person’s house then he will take money no matter what you do. Traffic police is a classic example of this.

    • When all documentary proof are attached with the application form veryification should automatically be done adhar card basis.

  168. I hv made my sons passport at the age of 2 , ii hv changed his name again after that , would like to know wts the procedure now for renewing the passport

  173. But still the police will come on the doorstep and demand. At present the Aadhar Card online in Gujarat is closed, nothing can be done by anyone. There’s no place to request help. The online process is not available everywhere. Imagine every centre only takes 25 applications everyday, this is the efficiency we have reached after all the efforts. Will the Govt even care?

  174. I also loss my rs. 1500 because i apply online nd i paid online and due to police verification. Call me after 20days and i was at hospital. And my file was closed

    • I fully agree for avoiding personal police enquiry. The officer who is visiting demanding Rs 1000 minimum as though it is an official fees

  181. Good.
    I had lot of problems with police
    First time when i applied for passport .
    It became very worst process as I have not done any crimes but I came from hyderabad to chittoor for police verification.
    For police verification they are asking rs.500 minimum. Now we no need to pay that amount.

  182. Plz confirm for new passport of 2 year child, police verification will be there or not. Some cases verification will be done after making passport.

  186. Dear Mam/Sir, Regarding My passport already expired on 2015. now i want to new passport, what i do the next level. Please suggest me thru my mail. Thanks and Brgds/ Christopher

  187. Very good decision taken by the government. It should be applicable to renewal of the passport.

    This will help to get the passport early & will save the money to be given to police.

    Thanks to Indian government.

  191. Dear Sir

  196. This Rule is effective from ?
    I had applied on Jan 29, 2018 and the Status shows Its pending with Police Station for Verification.

  198. Good decision by this Govt. it will help our citizen to get passport in quick time also eliminate the corruption & delay

  210. My old passport date has been expired before 12 years. What I have to do with that passport. I need passport now

    • Do not worry. It is a simple process. Fill up a new Application form. Write Renewal. Write Old PP number. No matter how old it is. But DO MENTION old PP details. For Renewal or New PP, charge is same Rs. 1,500.00
      If you do not mention Old PP Number, they will catch at PP interview time. Data for last 35 years or so is in computer now. If they catch you for suppressing information on old PP, then fine up to Rs. 2,000 and delay in issuing new PP. If you give all details correctly, then you will have PP in your hands on the third day .
      Thanks to Ministry of External Affairs. MEA

      thanks.

  217. I am happy to know it . I is a good decision save the time of both the applicant and passport office . It was a long awaited good decision by present Govt.

    New Delhi.

    • Dear Madhusudhan,

      No problem if your passport is expire before 4 years, just apply RENEWAL and attache your passport copy with 3 other documents like Aadhar, Pan & 10th Marks Card and submit online, charges Rs.1500/-

  232. great really great each and every time you take visa you need to visit local police station and sp office for police clearance certificate and to pay 1500 DD from sbi bank and to visit embassy really sushma swaraj and modi ji is really great

  233. I can applying new passport police station problems given to me.police says witness problems. My documents OK.

  243. This will stop bribe at police stations.previously they were taking 1000 rs and 7 days to make passport.now its fast and bribeless

  244. I am very happy with this decision, because my passport was rejected even though passport office was convinced. Sometimes police just want to harrass people. They don’t even know how to talk

  249. Hi the gournament taking good decision
    when the police come to verify the address & identity they are taking the money for verification
    so I’m very thank full to our gournament
    thank you & keep it up

    • Really good service but physical verification will need. In software you can change anything if you aware. suppose how many people maintain correct AADHAR card. they maintained multiple aadhar cards as they need services.

  252. thank u so much for this new decision,it is very good for those who has to pay bribe to some police man,not having a any bad records.

  254. Wov. Feels great. Our systems are improving. Timel neede will be much less and things are getting hassle free. They should also try to reduce paper work for passport at least for kids only aadhar card should be sufficient

  258. I request you all to stop paying money wen police visits ur home…they say verification has stopped but still its not stopped and police people is still expecting money indirectly by telling us we will reject the appln…

    • Dear Thrivikraman K.N.,

      No problem if your passport is expired on 2002, just apply for a RENEWAL and submit your 1st & last page passport copy along with Aadhar, 10th school certificate, Pan and Voter card. Charges Rs.1500/-

    • You have to do re-issue.
      And since it’s been a while since your old passport expired, you will not be able to go for TATKAL, and have to do Normal.

    • Dear Vikaram Nagar,

      For new passport, you need 10th School Certificate along with Aadhar, Pan and voter card.

  267. Really, it’s very good decision. I just got my passport where, police verification was done two places and really it’s very tough to available both the places at a same time. Decision is good but let’s see how it gets implemented..definitely, police must be thinking another way of bribe with new system.

  270. Really, it’s very good decision. Thanks for Government for doing good work for people & providing better facilities .

  275. It’s a welcome decision. One query, has there been any rule effective from June 2017 that a correction in the passport will not be entertained and instead a new passport has to be obtained? If so then what happens to the passports corrected prior to that by the passport dept.? My sister has travelled to USA twice before with the correction in the passport. And now she is planning again to go to USA to meet her son and his family this month of March. Can anyone clear my confusion?

    • As per the latest circular, Embassies will not give a visa which has a correction on the same, If you already have the US visa , then you can proceed on the same passport. But if you need a Visa for any country , you will need to get a new passport issued.

  276. Very good initiative to curb bribe. Police actually try to harass people when they go to police station. They keep looking for reason to ask money. Fantastic move by government.

  281. Hi sir and madam i applypassport 2016 dec 19/10/2016 i did not got passport because of birth certificate problem what to do more than 1years 5 months

  291. thank u so much for this new decision,it is very good for those who has to pay bribe to some police man,not having a any bad records.

  293. Hello Team,

    I would congratulate the govt of India for this step,

    I have applied and got the Passport last month during Police verification I asked to give 500 rupees by the Bangalore Chandralayout police.

    Thank you.

  296. It was usually mentioned that some states have applied for it, but if it still does not fit in West Bengal, is it just for UP?

  298. dear friends. i am going to apply new passport to my wife in tatkal. just now i made call to customer service they said police verification will be done. i am not clear with the customer people.

  300. I readhave about this rule long back, but it will take sometime to come into effect. Meanwhile the stress and harassment at the police stations will continue.

  301. The decision is really very good….. But when it will be fully implemented???
    Tomorrow is my police verification let’s see what I have to …… There.

  302. Who don’t know about this BRIBE either common man or government???
    The main thing is what we or govt is doing to make our Nation corruption free.

  305. I don’t got verification even though they said me that fill penalties please tell me solution

  307. I have applied for passport three weeks ago my status is pending for Police verification my neighbour got passport without police verification do I will get a police verification or not I applied on Feb 17 in chennai

  314. 1 Thank you for this help—specially for senior citizens.
    2. I am 83 years old. My passport is expiring on 14 May18. The new procedure will avoid my physically to run around for renewal. I wish new procedure could be explained also.THANKS

  315. Awesome Step… There are many more Licenses for which verification is required but Sorry to say Agents have better options then Government. Agents Plan, execute so people look for agents not government policies…

  317. The decision itself is very important which may help to eradicate corrupt practice by police auihorities as experienced during this process.

  319. It’s a great convenient progressive step forward,would reduce corruption
    Save time and unnecessary harassment of the applicants

  320. so when is it going to be implemented and will it give chance to other nationalities like rohingya muslims, bangladeshi,etc to hold indian passport, that will make them citizen of india and can do crime in and out side the country.

  323. Very good decision by Modi Govt. It will stop one side of versatile , long-lasting corruptions in the police department. It should be implemented in case of PVR for new Govt. Service also .

  333. the mail is good on the paper and to read only. My passport i have given for renewal on 14 feb 2018 and police did the verification on 4th march 2018. police physically visited and again on 5th march. i have to go police to identify which took 3 hours in police station in samta nagar chowki in kandiwali east mumbai.

    when i checked the passport status still under police clearance dated 12 march 2018.

    THIS IS OUR SYSTEM WHAT THEY SAY ON PAPER BUT GROUND REALTY IS DIFFERENT AND PRACTICE IS DIFFERENT.

    REGDS RICKY

    • this usually happens in india as people are very much confortable following the rules laid down years ago and dont appreciate or accept the change even if is for better.

  335. This online verification rule not implement yet because of i recently applied for the new passport & after police wants to verify me & my original documents but previous address is different & right now i have shifted other location from my previous location to new location is more that 1200 km what should i do.

  337. Good Step,
    Here in UP they directly ask for bribe, forcefully demands whatever amount they want !
    upon denying they create loopholes on negligible points & delay the process!

    hope this bribe actually comes to an halt

  338. A very Good decision by a government. No police verification.Police only harassment people.
    Due to police verification, i miss the big opportunity.

  344. The initiation of the Govt is no doubt welcoming facts but till police is calling applicant’s in a designated place before verification report being fwd. It is extremely needs that rather contact with applicant by the police, they can fwd report based on their records which is most appropriate and time saving.

  355. Good job
    I have a passport that time i has been veryfied police verification now no verification good all the best for new candiates

  359. My brother-in-law have such verification. Local police first gone to his home and wanted money. Sister give money for verification. On the same day the same police gone to brother-in-laws work place, wanted money for verification. Police collected money from him. Thus two payments for a single verification. How is it?

  360. It’s very good decision of passport department but my question is passport department how can i jug new passport maker criminal activity.

    Regards.

  363. IT’S A VERY GOOD INITIATIVE TO AVOID DELAY IN VERIFICATION MANUALLY.
    LET EVERYBODY ACKNOWLEDGE ; ACCEPT AND PARTICIPATE TO MAKE THIS PROGRAM A GRAND SUCCESS.

  365. It is yet to be implemented. Even for renewal of passports, police verification is sometimes needed which is ridiculous. Besides, once policeman visits the address given and varify the antecedents of the applicant, still she/he has to visit the police station with documents (that was already submitted in PP office) which is a sheer waste of time and energy not only for the individual but also for the police staff. Why can’t the policeman visiting the house collect the documents?

  368. two police personnel came to my home for the Verification process. As per the current scenario “to apply a passport we just need age proof and Adhara card with us”. I provided all to them and even then they sent adverse report about me as I am not residing there. My kids are in DAV School in my area right from the beginning and they say I do not reside there even after getting two witnesses from my area as well they verified all my docs. I don’t know what should I do now. These khakhi person can do anything sir, but we civilians are helpless in front these bastered khakhi personnel.

  370. मैंने अपनी पत्नी व बच्चे के पासपोर्ट के लिये 12 मार्च 2018 को आवेदन किया था बच्चे का पासपोर्ट तो जल्दी आ गया लेकिन पत्नी का नहीं आया पुलिस वेरिफिकेशन भी हो गया था तो क्या ये नियम अभी लागू नहीं हुआ है अगर नहीं तब कब से हो जायेगा?

  372. Very good , recently I submit for renewal of my pass port its means no police verification physically because one police verification already done earlier

  378. Though the majority of Police officials, or for that matter, almost all govt. officials are corrupt, the is a small exception of honest people. And such honest people and their well wishers will be deeply pained by the generalized comment as below which may please be corrected. This is my humble request.
    (With the implementation of CCTNS, the manual process of police verification could be simplified with just a few clicks. Also, the old process which resulted in bribing the local police officers when they come to verify the address and identity will come at a halt.)

  388. This is what the citizens want ,it is really a good decision.
    Another most important point like to refer that some decisions have to be taken by the government for large scale corruption of DTO/RTO Office.

  394. We well this step, but simultaneously surprise to see the real aspect of it, till date the police verification is going on and when the said notification was shown to the person who has approached for verification from Jawahar Circle police station he has stated that no information or circular is there, if it so then why circular or information is not given to us, so that we can proceed accordingly

  399. When it will be implemented??? Because have seen so many people struggling in this procedure & Police not at all co-operate sometime.

  400. Very good decision of Government as police officers does not come home and without bribe they haras persons but it will effective for maker in India all talent Parsons will try go abrad instead to serve inaction All talents are abrad. Please note this all so.

  404. My application was rejected because i didnt pay the police who came for verification. He took my pic onnhis tab n all paper work done then he me to come in few days. I went with the cash but could not give . So they send a applicant not staying. If at all i wasnt staying … how how i got all my ďocuments? Who made it for me? How i got my voters I .D. , my addaar card, my ration card? After 22 years u go out of mumbai for a change … is it call not living there? My documents invalid?
    What new rule u have done but not folowed by greedy , not paid cops? Please. Kindly look into the matter. I am a middle class. Cant afford to pay.
    Thank you

    • write to passport seva grievance directly stating the all above you mentioned. go to web site and give the complaint or take cutomer care centre help 1800 258 1800 .all the best .

    • dear frend no need to pay anyone for ur passport,this is ur right,if someone ask u for money then u can call to help center govt…..

  405. This will hep to make PAS public assessment system very easy , and save money and time of user with government also , this activity should start not only by UPA government buy will be implemented at all level

  407. Great Step towards curbing police corruption and Ease of living a quality life but Govt. has to put massive effort to save data of all criminals of all sorts under an effective update process.Here State Govt. have to also cooperate in bigger away and Central Govt has to define clearly as to who will be termed as Criminals and those politicians who even charged with crime but their criminality is not proven and is under investigation or pending in courts can come under such system or not

  409. If this is the new rule, then why do we need to do police verification. I had to reissue my passport as the pages got exhausted,so after going for the appointment on the 6th April 2018 did my residence police verification on the 12th April 2018 and physical police station verification on the 13th April 2018…and the passport status tracker says still pending. If we do not need this then why is it still been carried out.

  410. Police verification is a big corruption in a society.absolutely right action.
    In a passport office I want to inform you that regarding change date of birth rules,ifdate of birth need to change at the time off admission in a school may be different.because in a Delhi admissions are very tough.
    One or two years defferance in a age may be ignored after taking affidavit.should be changed.or some rule book may be available in a section for public,PL.do some thing.

  411. महोदय
    मेरे पास जन्म प्रमाण पत्र नहीं है तो क्या मेरा पासपोर्ट बन सकता है?
    अगर बन सकता है को क्या करना है ?

  412. Great news the Police they do nothing only asking money 1000 rupees for one candidate. In Rangadh, Maharashtra one police officer assign for this job after 2 years that officer became rich that he purchase big Dumper Truck , one big shop for brother plus one great house in town for 18 lakh. Really it’s great news.

  413. It’s a great positive measure by the govt to put a stop for bribing the corrupt police, who demands, money from the passport applicants .well done.

  414. Unfortunately, in India, corruption seems like a lubricant to make the system work.
    Many genuine efforts are made by some serious and sincere politicians,but there is much more to do.

  415. Police,alwsys asked the bribe for Passport pilice verification in all the states of India. The ne policy for,passport will end the cuurecption. Thanks,to The central Govt..

  417. I don’t know if it will ever happen.I applied for passport 20 days back and still I see same status which was there one day after I submitted my application.

    So saying police verification gonna end is entering in the fairyland .

  419. i am visually challanged working at TCS,I applied for passport on dated 05-12-2017,my application noCA206075563117.
    At TCS PASSPORT is mandatory document hence i applied at KOLKATA.
    HERE AT ANANDAPORE PS IS NOT TAKING ACTION FOR VERIFICATION AFTER REPETED REQUEST to the officer.
    HOW GOVT IS MAKING RULES ,I HOPE ONLY PEN AND PAPERS.
    GOD KNOWS WHEN I SHALL GET.
    REGARDS TO ALL

    • Sir/Madam ji
      Me Akbarpur Me Dukan Chalata Hu To Me Delhi Nhi aa Sakta Hu
      Mera Ghar Delhi Me He …
      Agar Passport Ban Sakta he to reply Kre Thanks……
      C.No….9818474461

  420. This is a very good decision, but its implementation should be effected without much delay. Forced bribing to state police and state local intelligence would be automatically stopped.

  422. Why delay compilation ? Govt. already sends alert to airports to detain persons who have a passport. I request that only keep strict compliance of scrutiny of persons leaving India rather than holding issue of Passport.
    PV is an issue public opposes due to reasons of harassment reported by millions. Door to door PV can be done away with on furnishing some document like a certificate from RWA office bearer.

  423. its a welcome step taken by the govt of india.because around 90% of our citizen does not having any cases against them and unesessarly facing police and giving rs1000 as bribe for verifications.for example i donot have any fir against me why i should need police verification??????.now i can apply.thanks to mrs shushma swaraj for a brillient step taken.

  424. Though,I am not in Q.. for the purpose ,nevertheless ,I thank the Govt. for this CCTNSP to save the people from the administrative sply. POLICE inquiry /harrassment. Thax

  426. Police can verify antecedent of a person without calling the applicant for which a stern policy is required to frame so that it will helps time and curb the demanding illegal gratification.

  427. My husband applied for re-issue of passport and went through counter A. Then on Counter B he was checked with all documents & was told that our Rented Agreement was not registered, to get NOC from Landlord and to change our present address with out Bank.
    We live in a rented house as my house is under redevelopment . My Agreement is in my husband’s name and is also notorised. I dont understand y they asked me to change the address with the bank as i am not permenantly staying in the rented house and hence his application was rejected.
    I too applied for a fresh passport but my too was rejected at the very first counter as they said i did not have any proof of residence. The rented agreement is in my husband’s name and i am living with him in the same house.
    One says getting a passport is a very easy job but no there are a lot of complications.

  428. Nice Sir………..for this CCTNSP to save the people from the administrative or Police inquiry/ Harassment.

  429. I have applied for my husband re issue passport and of my 6 month old child fresh passport how much time it will take to come 3may 4 may is my appointment abd if i need it soon after appointment as i have sponser comed ..wts d procedure to get it earlier

  432. Very very nice decision, I think there should be one more thing added in passport offices, that is face scanner, as soon as the applicants face is scanned in the scanner the software immediately should detect the person under any criminal cases or no, I think this should be the one click verification and the passport will be in hand in 10 to 15 day and no bribe will be anymore. all doors of corruption regarding passport will be closed for everyone.

    Thanks n Regards

  433. This really is a great effort for reducing corruption . But then why did i get a call from our local police station for passport verification when i already had a passport issued by the authority in 2015.

  435. Hello
    Anybody whose name is changed after marriage and present name is different from High School certificate. Then what to do for apply passport

  436. i need to change my date of birth in my passport.

    What are the procedures , i am currently working in Bahrain.
    Kindly advise?

    Regards
    Ivan

  437. I want to change my address..My passport was made in Delhi..It has lot many years validity. .Now I want my address to be visakhapatnam address..Many years..I kept quite..as everyone said..nobody will do..Is it possible to change address? Wht all s required?

  438. Very nice decision. But it has not come into force till date. Police verification is going on as per earlier practice in Jharkhand state. I do’nt know why? Can Passport authority check it and stop it, which has opened the door of corruption in the state..

  439. Dear Sir Madam Rajiv Mehrishi
    Great step towards curbing police corruption it will not stop you no i no you only going to issue sculler who is going to implement that .
    I will give two Example what was happening Mehatpur Jalandhar police made Passport inquire 2003 everything’s was fraud police taken 500 rupees OK Jalandhar passport office issued Passport no E4008152
    Same woman first Passport was still valid Jalandhar police made inquire again everything’s was fraud ,lie taken 500 Rupees then everything was OK same again Jalandhar passport office issued G6324496 still happening when you going to stop that.

  442. Good initiative, it will reduce corruption and speed up the process of issuance of Passport. I doubt ever had any positive report was given by police without taking bribe from applicant.

  443. Very good decision. I am a resident of Bangalore by birth. My daughter’s marriage was fixed to take place in USA. The police constable has demanded bribe to expedite The report. After collecting Rs 1000/- he started harassing my dr. For more. When I told him that I am going to Camplain to the Commr. he sent the report. This is the way the police do their job.
    Now I am relieved.

  444. GOVERMENT SHOULD HIRE PASSPORT OFFICAL FOR POLICE VERFICATION THEY CAN CHECK THE RECORDS IN POLICE STATION TO STOP THIS PRACTICE

  446. This is a great initiative for the country. Also prevents criminals from getting passports by paying bribes. Excellent initiative They should also link the criminal record to Aadhar card and deny all incentives to criminals. Good Luck to the government.

  452. Good decision… Coz even i had faced problems for police verification.. He was not ready to give positive verification.

    • It is important once adhaar card and election card is verified and police official verifying details should minimise formalities which normally appears as harassment. I am not again real verification but the process should be simplified with csre.

      • IT IS GOOD DECISION. PERSONAL POLICE VERIFICATION IS ONLY TO SHELL MONEY TO POLICE VERIFICATION OFFICER TO GET THE JOB DONE OTHERWISE THEY NEVER SUBMIT THE REPORT TO PASSPORT OFFICE UNLESS ONE PAY TO THEM THEIR FEE I.E. BRIBE. ONE STEP FURTHER TO CHECK CORRUPTION

    • Good decision of govt. I want to know whether it is applicable presently or proposed particularly in U P.
      Please reply

    • IT IS GOOD DECISION. PERSONAL POLICE VERIFICATION IS ONLY TO SHELL MONEY TO POLICE VERIFICATION OFFICER TO GET THE JOB DONE OTHERWISE THEY NEVER SUBMIT THE REPORT TO PASSPORT OFFICE. ONE STEP FURTHER TO CHECK CORRUPTION

    • Very good. Present verification system, at least in Gurgaon is a sham..After one applies for a passport you get a SMS and/or a phone call from the police station to come to the station and collect the form & the officer tells you to have the form filled n have it signed by the neighbours etc & return the form duly filled with attached docs to the police station.
      He does not actually come to your house nor does he visit the place of neighbours who sign for you.
      If the requirement is to only submit Aadhar card copy of neighbors with their signatures same could be submitted also at the time of submitting the passport application. whats the need for a seperate/independent verification.

    • i want to tell you people a story about my police verification.
      It was held in Patna.
      I had an urgent need of passport.
      so i decided to go to the police station directly.
      there was this inspector..1st he started very politely that the whole system are corrupted these days. so public are forced to bribe poilcemen etc. He told even my son had to pay bribe for his police verifcation.

      for a moment i thought he must be a good person free from corruption.
      but later he went to his cabin and called me inside.
      There he sad ” KUCH CHAI PANI DIJIYE”.
      I gave him Rs 60.
      He was angry and said “YE KYA DE RAHE..AAB JAYEGA HUM ACHE SE VERIFY KARENGE APKE GHAR AAKAR..EK DO WEEK BAAD”

      and as the matter was urgent , i had to pay him Rs 1100

    • Gud decision ,bcs in case leaving alone at home very deficult to wait when they cm,and also prevent corruption tooo..

    • Thanks to all the Government and Office bearers who all involved in implementing such a excellent system. It is very simple and most accurate. Zero corruption and no scope to escape from any kind of fraud or crime.

  456. Good move. But everything should also be online lot of productive time wasted by individual to submit papers. Calculate the national time wasted for passport alone, it will be huge. Next step for government is this.

  458. Govt under Modi is moving fast in the right direction. Let us chose modi again to continue the good job he is doing

  461. Good step taken by the government to speed up the process. Only hitch could be effective implementation and awareness.

  462. ood decision… all documents positive
    but not completely my passport 1.years. problems for police verification.. He was not ready to give positive verification

  463. This is a very good move. The system can be updated as & when need arises like any other digital programs. Police verification has always been cumbersome not because of corruption alone but due to non availability of police personnel to do the work especially due to their engagement like VIP escort, security etc. Simplification of methods is very essential in every field of administration and the present NDA govt. is doing their best. Congrats.

  464. Very good step towards growth as this also helps in minimising the police efforts and also helps the citizens to do the verification in some clicks

  467. When this rule will be effective. I am hearing this from quite a long time. Is there any deadline for this ?

    Police verification is not easy still and difficult to follow up with them and make them understand.

  471. From when will it be effective.
    Should i wait as my passport is already due for renewal.
    Pl confirm dates if possible.

  472. Good decision. When I applied for new passport, I gone fast through every procedure except police varification which was kept pending with police for about 3 months.

  473. Yes this decision of linking of CCTNS to release passport is very appreciable as the local police persons are demanding bribes for doing physical verification. May I know when this implementation would come into the force ?

  477. Even police at my area refused to come at my home i need to go there for verification. They make there own rules. Never treated my parents good, there behaviour was to rude. I completely felt disappointed with our government services and felt bad for all we Indians.

  478. Dear Sir
    I have applied for pass port in 2016 but they send my negative report to the passport office after submitting all document.RZD3/218c,1st floorfloor street no.-09 Mahavir Enclave-1,New Delhi-110045 and Rs.4000/ were spoiled in it process.

  479. My police verification is done on 17/04/18.
    Today is 13/05/18. But website show physical police verification is pending.

    I contact my local dib and District dib they not help me anymore.

  480. nice attempt…lots of harassment will be over & easy for normal people to get passport hazzalfree…some times it is very difficult to get verification in time from concern dept…..

  482. Even after having confirmed the Adrss personally the police are sending adverse report to the pasport office . Expecting money is nothing new but why do they ask it. What should we call this act as MR home minister for state and the Center

  487. Hope it works as it is said, because still we have to go police station for verification and in some case even pay the bribe as mentioned

  490. सरकार ने यह सरलीकरण कर एक उपयोगी कार्य किया है, धन्यवाद।।

  494. its a good decision against corruption ..now they police man will understand ,,,without taking money they were not processing passport ,and also demanding more than 2k

  496. Good decision. In most of the cases police directly or indirectly need money from us. Many poor people are suffering because of this.

  497. Very good decision because I had to apply thrice for renewal of my passport due to police verification report..

  500. This is good step to eliminate bribe because I have faced a lots of problem regarding police verification and I got my passport when I complained about the scenario at P.M.O website. I support for this step.

  502. Good decision from Govt. Down the cruption. I also struggle with them for new passport 2007 in delhi and renual 2017 pune.
    They are worgh information given to passport office.

  503. Good decision… coz even i m facing problems for police verification.. I m student and I signed at police station but they wants money even I paid 700₹ .they wants more money. Where should I complain.

  507. This will be amazing. This will a avoid bribing to policemen. When is this going to be implemented . People with aadhaar card should be exempted as they have already verified themselves by giving bio metrics.

  508. Well Done New India, another important step towards becoming digital India. Wonder why some ppl are objecting to Aadhaar bio information on the grounds of Right to Privacy. apparently they have something to hide. Track them through CCTNS; ‘kaanoon ke lambe haath’

  510. I really appreciate the endeavor of introducing this system of “no physical police verification”. This will save time, cost and embarrassment. But for providing present address proof many face problems those who are staying in rented houses and has moved to the same place just before applying for a new passport. For this a system should be evolved / emerged and same can be supported with necessary documents i.e. rent agreement or some kind of endorsements from a senior Govt. Officer of equivalent to an Under Secretary and above etc..

  512. These details will help people to understand the process for passport application. thanks for discountwalas.com.

  513. Really very good decision…my sons passport is still pending for verification….let me know once it is effective as i shld be the first to enrol my sons passport again.

  514. I had registered to renew my passport on 09/05/2018.All verifications and all documents are cleared my me. Then also I have not received any mail, SMS from anyone. My Application no –
    3072329724018

  519. I still doubt the new rule will come in force.
    I have been given appointment at Kaithal passport office On18.6.2018.Let us see which way the wind blows.

  523. It is a good step but I don’t think it will stop bribe by local Police.
    Even to Submit their status, they will approach for bribe otherwise either delay the response or make wrong commit.

  525. This is very good to heard that our country is moving towards technological areana and it should be there. Now we are sitting in 2018 yr so Aadhar card is more sufficient to track the client and his address. So the processs is good and time less service.
    Sometimes police verification the client was not at home at that time then that again time consuming for both police and the candidate.So it is now smooth for everybody.
    REGARDS
    Biren

  526. It’s really good but the complete process should be required for as per government require as well as just checking through aadhar unique I’d is enough to getting track.

  527. Long-term plans are coming into play. The integration of mobile number, AADHAR, criminal records and other personal records could make an investigation system transparent and efficient. However, if maintained properly and make it hack proof, the system could transform a lot of other things. You can’t bribe a software, awesome.

  528. Good decision of gov i had lot of faced problem last time so many times iwent police station but no body present thattime duty officer .it was a harrasment .

  529. I had applied my passport on 14/03/2018 , after that I had received a mail that my papers were forwarded to local police Stn. for verification .I was thinking that police will visit my residence for verification but when I found out from the local police stn. that again I have to submit all the documents along with my 2 known person of my area with their documents , its not over then again we all 3 has to present in front of TI (Thana Incharge) we visited 2-3 times but he was not in his seat. Finally he cleared the papers and the dealing person told me that by Tomorrow I will forward these papers to SP Office (Dt.20/04/2018) Then I visited the SP Office , I found that my Documents were not received by SP Office till (24/05/2018). Then I went to my Local police stn. I found that earlier person was on leave and another person was there , I requested him and he traced out my papers and within 2 hrs. he forwarded the papers to SP Office and they called me next day to see SP and the form was cleared . Now I am waiting for my Passport to Dispatch at my address.
    This is Nothing but to Harras the Citizen of India.and Corruption is every where ,Modiji is trying to Clean India fro Corruption but our whole system is Corrupt,
    My File No. RP01C4027033818

  530. IT IS GOOD DECISION. PERSONAL POLICE VERIFICATION IS ONLY TO SHELL MONEY TO POLICE VERIFICATION OFFICER TO GET THE JOB DONE OTHERWISE THEY NEVER SUBMIT THE REPORT TO PASSPORT OFFICE UNLESS ONE PAY TO THEM THEIR FEE I.E. BRIBE. ONE STEP FURTHER TO CHECK CORRUPTION

  532. This is good step to eliminate bribe
    Every individual passport prepared had to pay minimum rupees 500 at the time of police verification, look at the amount that the officer were looting the citizens
    I support for this step, good decision

  536. Even though Impossible to eliminate corruption from the society, Now a days corruption is part of society.

    All on average every Indian paying bribe on all average 1500 per head per year.

    1.5 Lakh crores per year , this is other than corporate bribes , those may be 100 times

  537. Welcome the decision. In my case, passport officials even asked me and my juvenile son to visit police station and asked bribes to process at PS along with duty officer sitting there. Govt. should have to close all the unnecessary avenues with the possibilities of collecting bribes by the govt.officers during any official job to process related govt departments. Right & necessary step.

  538. The proposed mechanism for getting passport in record time by easing the process with no bribe system is good for citizen of the country.
    I personally appreciate and need to be be implemented immediately.
    I understand the process may be implemented immediately where (in the police station) all the facilities are already available.
    Delay is danger.

  545. Very good decision. It is just and necessary to implement the same to avoid unnecessary things. Simplify the rules and regulations, so that the honest citizens will not suffer.

  549. But verification is still going on. Even today 02-06-2018 we face police verification for renewal of my spouse passport and the bloody officer is saying I am having full rights to reject your case when I told him about this information.

  550. But verification is still going on. Even today 02-06-2018 we face police verification for renewal of my spouse passport and the bloody officer is saying I am having full rights to reject your case when I told him about this information.

  551. I feel India may be no.1 corrupt country in the world by all means. Nowadays only a few steps are being initiated by the Govt. to eradicate. I am the one who appreciate these type of activities for the betterment of our country.

    Open ideas may be called for from general public of india to eradicate corruption in all governmental activities at least in future.

  552. I am from chandrapura thermal power station. I had passport verification Done in local police station, the bada babu asked me directly 1000 ruppee as bribe. Lovely system… I hope to become police officer so that I would too charge money as I have suffered. This is the reason people become criminal……. I am very upset

  555. One of the best measures present govt has taken to curb and root out corruption as promised deserves appreciation

  559. Very good and solid decision. This step will stop corruption of Police department and save the time. I appreciate to NIP Govt.

  560. Comments & views:It is appreciated that now administration has accepted the decision to utilised the networking skills of Police department to avoid the unnecessary harassment of people who seeks passport. It is also to avert the corrupted police officers & men who forced the simple citizens to give bribes unless their passport verification is done deliberately with fabricated adverse remarks.

  561. It is well and comprehensive steps taken by the Indian government to avert the corrupted police officer who often used to harass the seekers of passport unnecessary despite the submission of all formalities towards verification done by the local police. Really it is appreciable steps.

  568. For my friends and relatives I was helped for more than 20 peoples to apply and get Passport. But all of them were thankful to me the moment they received their passport, but certainly they never fail to mention about the police verification ( begging/ bribing ) process. At least now let’s hope for the best.

  569. good decision. It is just and necessary to implement the same to avoid unnecessary things. Simplify the rules and regulations, so that the honest citizens will not suffer.

  572. It’s a good decision taken by Govt. for stop corruption and also time saving job for both the side, one of passport holder and another one is Police Department. Govt. can use same Police Department and machinery in other important work also.
    Simplify the rules and regulations, so that the honest citizens will not suffer.

  573. I HAVE GET A MAIL SIAD THAT POLICE VERIFICATION FOR YOUR PASSPORT EVEN I HAVE NO PASSPORT YET, I DID NOT UNDERSTAND ABOUT THIS MAIL MESSAGE . ANY ONE HELP ,ME TO DESCRIBE ABOUT THIS, OR WHAT SHOULD I DO NOW ?

    • Keep calm…..the one applied passport might have misspelled his/her email ID and that happened to be your email ID, hence you got the email. You need not to do anything as of now. Just ignore it.

  574. Good gesture by the Indian Govt. for the Indian people. Saves time. Hope we will not hear the word “Corruption” in days to come.

  575. I have applied my passport for renewal last year in the month of october and the documentation task in pass port sevan Kendra was completed successfully in first visit and It was really so simple, But after that in the month of November one of the police officer visited my home place and taken all the records from me and submitted the report to Passport office but I have I had receive message from Passport office that “Police has submitted the Advirse report for your current address ” and my passport renewal of processing stuck and after that I visited the Regional Passport Office” for further checking and processing but they were charging 5000 rupees as a penalty amount for re issuing the police verification at my address and I was not in a condition to pay such panalty amount,

    So can someone confirm me is the panalty amount of 5000 rupees is correct as per govt. rules or can I start my passport processign again with new Process that is CCTNS ? Or how can I proceed without paying panalty amount .

    Thanks to confirm , Really appreciated in advance your revert and help

    Dheeraj

  577. IS POLICE VERIFICATION THROUGH CCTNS MADE MANDATORY W.E.F. 1/6/2018 AND NO PHYSICAL POLICE VERIFICATION IS REQUIRED.

  578. Sir,
    Physical Police Verification is still a mandatory provision either for new or renewal of passport.
    police and LIU both visit your home for……

    • Dear Sir,

      Physical Police Verification not come because some amount collection not came, So Police direct verification not came. New renewal passport came after not came police verification. One letter came for passport office not enquire at intimate letter send address wrong, u come rpo passport office. one day salary loss and bus auto expenses Rs.1000 loss. After i decide i go to local police station passport enquire police man asking Rs.300. I thinging another Rs.1000 loss better Rs.300 giving inside police station.

      So encourage the govt. scam or some amount.

  579. Very good measure by the Central Govt. But side by side please control the bribe of all other department.
    Thanking you (Central Govt.)

  581. It is indeed a nice steps by the Government. This will boost the moral of the ordinary people and it simplified the methods and process.
    Congrats to Govt. of India.

  582. It says verification of new passport by just a few clicks. What does it mean? Will the applicant have to have his own computer or will he have to go to the police station to click the few clicks. Matter needs more clarification. And what about those who want to renew their old passports?

    • The policeman comes to your address with a tab phone. Takes a few clicks such as your signature in his presence, your photograph and a click on AADHAAR or any other document submitted by you for address proof etc . He instantly uploads the details to PSK concerned.

  583. Its excellent to avoid get threatening and bribing heavily to some for being genuine without having criminal record.

    It will give lot of relief to the applicants who apply pass port or its renewals.

    Thanks to bring this to have safe integrated system

  585. this is plain and simple BS. IT IS UNNECESSARILY OPENING THE DOORS FOR MORE FRAUD AND FRAUDSTERS PLZ………….AS THOUGH WITH THE CURRENT VOLUMES THAT INDIA DEALS WITH, ONLINE AND DIGITAL IS ANY STABLE OR SAFE HEH AND HUH!!

    IT IS SIMPLY NOT YET A STABLE SYSTEM TO JUST RELY ON DIGITAL FOOTPRINT ALONE , ESPECIALLY FOR VERY SENSITIVE AND IMPORTANT VERIFICATION THINGS SUCH AS THIS!! HEH THE PERFECT RECIPE FOR CREATING MORE NIRAV’S TO FLEE…..BYE BYE AND HAVE A WONDERFUL TIME WHEREVER AND GOSH ONCE OUT OF THE BORDERS NO SANE SOUL WILL EVER THINK OF COMING BACK I TELL U!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    INDIA, U ARE NOT READY FOR A COMPLETE DIGITAL VERIFICATION AND PROBABLY WON’T BE FOR THE NEXT 5 YRS.PL STOP FROM CREATING NEW CANS OF WORMS!! AND THERE ARE THINGS THAT U NEED TO BE CONSERVATIVE ABOUT AND I GUESS THIS IS ONE SUCH AREA.

    • AT BEST EXPERIMENT WITH BOTH…..IF STOPPING THE PRACTICE OF BRIBES IS WHAT IS TARGETED THEN HAVE BOTH AUTO AND MANUAL MANDATORY FOR 6 MONTHS AND LEARN FROM TRIALS !!?? WELL ALL SORTS OF TRIALS TOO BTW!

  586. Again to do some clicks also the Police will call the applicant and ask money to complete it. So their handhelds will be not working or server issues, etc. Bribe will not stop easily.

    • Can any one suggest at what basis Police verification submitting their adverse report,
      I m residing in my own flat and all the verified with the Adahar Card also, Income Tax Return filling from last 20 yrs.
      I have recd the Renewed Passport also.
      What is the base of police verification ?

  589. This is only news to read, appreciate and to earn publicity. Practically it is not for implementation. Reaction of this news is ” Rules are more strict.” resulting in more ‘ BHETPUJA ‘
