There are some reports spreading that now all those people who have expired passports and want new passports can get re validated expired passports instead of waiting for issuance of new passports.
However there is no confirmation about this from an official source. Few people have spread this news through SMS and internet. Scores of people have shared it on Facebook also.
An ordinary passport fee is now a day’s Rs. 3000 where as urgent passport fees is Rs. 5000. Urgent passport is issued within one week. According to our correspondent in the recent few weeks few people have waited for more than one month for their passports which they applied after paying urgent fees.
It is expected that in coming weeks passport issuance will become slow as interim government will take over and work in government department will be slow as compare to normal routine days.
