[Resolved] Chennai RPO — Unnecessary Initiation of Police Verification for exempted categories | |||
Sir, I am to state that I am a Central Government employee applied for issue of a fresh Passport online. I got an appointment with the PSK, Saligramam, Chennai on 14.10.2013. Being a Central Government servant, I submitted Identity Certificate in Annexure-B obtained from my employer as a supporting document. As per the guidelines and instructions issued by the CPV Division of MEA, New Delhi vide CIRCULAR No.VI_401_01_05_2008 dt.05.10.2009, the Passport in a such a case should be issued to me without police verification. But, they have initiated police verification on post PV basis. By doing so, the very purpose of producing Identity Certificate in Annexure-B is defeated. At the same time, this overrides the guidelines issued by the MEA, New Delhi and causes insult to the applicant and the certifying authority who issued the Identity certificate in Annexure-B. Hence, I wish that the police verification on post PV basis which has been initiated by the PSK, Saligramam in my case may kindly be withdrawn and suitable remedial action needed in this regard. My Passport File No. is MA[protected] Chithra Ramamurthy Was this information helpful? | |||

You should address your grievance to RPO Chennai. But being a govt employee also understand there must be a reason for MEA officilas to initiate police enquiry and it is well within there purview to do so.

Madam,
I totally agree with you, I am also a Central Government Employee and recently submitted my application for reissue of Passport (PSK TAMBARAM) in Nov 2013 and also submitted Annexure B / Identity Certificate, still even my process is initiated on Post Police Verification Basis.
When the process is so simplified dont know why MEA initiated the Post Police Verification process, even the Verifying Officer told me there wont be any Police Verification still i received email stating that Police Verification will be done within 3 weeks but my passport is printed and will be despatched.
Regards
Ravi
