[Resolved]  Indian Passport — Non Acceptance of Application

Address:

Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh

Hi,

I Applied the Passport online in general quota on 14th Nov 2010 and got the appointment on 16th Nov 2010 at 11 AM.
I reached at Regional Office of Passport, Secunderabad at 10AM and found I have to stand in queue on the road with another roughly 300 people who are already standing before me.
I waited upto 12:30 PM and during this time one of the official used to come out escorted by Police Man and singed the initial 30 to 40 Peoples form who are in queue and on whose the signed allowed to go in side the office. It happened for 4 to 5 time. And at 12:30 PM suddenly they closed the gate and announced that they will not accept further application and need to come on next working day. At that time we were maximum 30 to 25 people were left to whom they ignored and did not accept the Application Latter and closed the door.

I do not know what is the closing time and why they did like this. But the followings are the complaint from me.

1. What is the usability of Online Registration if you have to stand in Queue.
2. Even if the appointment has been fixed and you are asking to stand on the queue still why you are not accepting the application latter.
3. How the Govt office can get closed at 12:30 PM for the public in a general day.
4. How can you ignore the people or persons or applicant who in the queue from last 3 to 4 hours by standing on the road in the open sky by tolerating the Sun ray and the pollution and other things only to submit the application form.
5. How many days it usually takes to submit a Application Form to apply for Indian Passport.
