Passport applicants from Delhi, Sonipat, Gurugram, Narnaul, Faridabad, whose application forms have objections, have to go to the regional passport office located at Bhikaji Cama Place to get them resolved.
Passport Application: If you want to get a passport, then the people of Delhi will have to wait for about a month to apply, because the ITO office is closed and its passport application counters have been merged with the office located at Videocon Tower, where there is a long waiting period. Earlier, the passport office located at Bhikaji Cama Place was shifted to Defense Colony, but there too there is a waiting period for online appointments.
1200 applicants are being given appointments every day
1200 applicants are given online appointments every day at the passport office located in Videocon Tower, Jhandewalan. Even after this, the number of applicants is so high that now no one will be able to apply here before 17 October. More than 20 thousand applicants have booked online appointments and are included in the virtual queue for getting passports made.
Struggle to get objections removed
Passport applicants from Delhi, Sonipat, Gurugram, Narnaul, Faridabad whose application forms have objections have to go to the regional passport office located at Bhikaji Cama Place to get them removed. Documents or undertaking related to these objections have to be given. Online appointment is not available in this office to get the objections removed. Now one will have to wait for 12 days to get an online appointment for inquiry in the regional passport office. However, some applicants reach the office directly every day, then the department officials get their objections resolved in the walk-in appointment, so that the applicants do not have to face trouble. Even after this, people are facing troubles. Some applicants have demanded relief from the trouble.
Even more trouble in post offices
The waiting time is even longer in the passport centers located in the post office. Here too, the number of applicants is much more. Online appointments have been issued for Faridabad POPSK till 16 December, for Mehrauli till 4 November, for Narnaul till 24 October, for Nehru Place till 2 December. In such a situation, passport applicants will not be able to apply at the main passport centers or post offices.
Four days waiting in Tatkal
Like Jhandewalan, there is a long waiting list for online appointments in the general category in the Shalimar Bagh office too. Here 485 people are able to apply daily. Now here too, online appointments will not be available before 24 October. All the appointments before this have been booked. There is a four-day waiting list in this office for applying in the Tatkal quota too. Applicants say that this problem should be resolved as soon as possible.
This is the arrangement for hurry
Appointments are being given for the next day in the Tatkal quota, but not all applicants will be able to apply in this category. Applicants in this category will have to pay almost double the fee and also give the reason for applying in the Tatkal quota and also attach a letter from a gazetted officer. However, many times people have to face problems during this process too.
