New Delhi International Airport Immigration — Immigration Officer should behave better: Why they are not aware of e-visa or electronic Visas

Address:

New Delhi, Delhi

I want to share a feedback about the immigration officer i interacted with on International New Delhi airport. I am a australian resident but I have Indian citizen ship and nationality. My new Indian passport ( recently renewed) was issued from Indian consulate in Melbourne. At the moment the Australia Permanent Visas are not stamped on passport and they are maintained electronically. I have traveled with this passport in Dec 2014 from Melbourne to Chennai and return. I didnt have any issue at the airport or immigration desk. I traveled again to India and this time it was to Delhi and during departure the immigration officer wanted me produce a document for my Australian PR, after a series of discussion he got annoyed with me and stamped my passports first page, which is a bio page and has my photo on it. Luckily that page is laminated ( for a purpose) and i was able to rub off the ink. But that is no professional way to handle a conflict and try to destroy someones passport.
