Passport Office, Ghaziabad — Delay in processing of passport

Address:

Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh

My file no. is GZBZ40207813, have submitted an application for the issuance of fresh passport on 03/08/2013 at District Passport Application Centre, Muzaffarnagar. The local address verification and police verification has already been completed a long time back but have not received my passport yet. The online application status is showing as "Police Verification Report for your passport application is under review at Regional Passport Office. Subject to granting, passport will be dispatched after Police Verification Report is found clear. You would receive an sms/e-mail once the passport is dispatched."

Same status is showing from last 2-3 months. "How long should I wait? What are the reasons for delay in processing of passport? On asking the same information online from http://www.passportindia.gov.in/AppOnlineProject/ccgm/feedbackAction, I have been replied as "For the latest status of your application, please refer to the 'Track Status Link' on the home page of the website: www.passportindia.gov.in . Note that any change in the application status will be updated on the website. " Hope we have been able to address your concern with satisfaction.Thanking you and assuring you of our best services at all times."
Although few people residing in our locality who have applied online even after one month of my application submission date have already received their passport. Please take the necessary action ASAP and update me at the earliest possible time.
