[Resolved]  Passport — Passport Issue taking undue time

I had applied for a new passport from Bhopal Passport office on 04/12/2008 . My Passport file no. File Ref. No. : a[protected]. The status has been Your file is under processing and Police Report Not Received for quite a long time. Chhindwara Police says that they had sent the report. I don't know where is the problem. I don't even know where is my document lying so that i can track my passport.
Please look into the matter as my job requires a passport and I lost many opportunities because of this passport problem.

Hi,
This too have happened with me. I had applied in the dadar passport office but even after 15-20 days no one from the police came to us for an enquiry or police verriifcation. So we went to the passport application office at samta nagar, kandivali police station. The policeman at the station asked for a bribe which we didn't pay thinking he might ask for a higher price. so we went away. After 15-20 more days when the policeman didn't come to our house for verification we went to the station and this time i paid him 300 rupees which he quickly took under the table. After paying this amount my process started and i recieved the new paassport after 3 weeks.

So, i would suggest that you go to the police stattion where you have applied for pasport and pay the policeman 200-300 rupees as i feel the corruption is never going and you have to wait for life time to get your passport.

I wish you good luck.

correctly said. Samta Nagar police offical took 400 at the time of police verificaton and said report will be sent soon. Even he didn;t check my original document, he said. AAPKO DEKH liya bahi bahut hai. 400 de do, all set.
