I got all the above information from a chennai related website It has more information.
Chennai Passport office has become hub of money market. One has to necessarily apply passport in tatkal scheme, otherwise, the same amount of money to be paid to agents, you will get your passport on time through normal application. Most of the people are waiting for their passport for more than 3 months. Tele-enquiry number is for ceremonial purpose only and no one attends to the call. So better be careful, either you apply in Tatkal scheme or submit application through agents (don't go and wait in queue thinking that Passport office is clean) I can assure you will never get passport through normal scheme) application)
ReplyDeleteYah, i do agree to the comment, Chennai Passport office is for tatkal scheme only. Please don't apply a normal application. I applied under normal scheme and later paid an agent hefty amount after waiting for 2 months and now understand that my passport application file is missing. God alone can save us from this Government babus. Better get your application done through tatkal.
ReplyDeleteCan you believe people an application no K000001 which was applied on 01-01-2008 is yet to despatched and it is for 2 yrs old kid. lol... So is our friendly Chennai Passport office. So better luck guys. It seems Tiruchy was better!!!
ReplyDeleteI had applied for my kids passport in Jan this year. I applied through an agent but till now there is no response. They tell us to go directly to the passport office. Cost of passport Rs 600. Getting the passport from them Rs. 3000! Who do we complain to? Emails dont work, telephones dont work. Money??? Even this wont work here it seems! Anyone has a clue what to do?
ReplyDeleteWat is the procedure to apply for a paasport in tatkal scheme? did they require any specific documents other than the normal proofs? can anyone help me please ?..
ReplyDeleteIt is too sad to hear that someone had cheated you with a blog.
ReplyDeleteIn addition to the applypassport blog, I also notice that "cheater" has viprocity blog. I guess, that is also not trustable. Be wary about these cheater blogs.
Did you send a cheque or cash? If it was cache, we cannot really do anything about it.
ReplyDeleteHe seems to have an address, why can't we catch him?
I have applied for passport on july 4 of this year at chennai.. Specially tatkaal scheme.. Till now i am receiving.. I think what they are doing rather to despatch . My friend had applied at normal after one month of my applied date. Now he got it. Why they do like this? I am so much vexed.. I lose my idea to do higher studies in abroad.. Because of this problem.. Cha.. What government office?
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteI have applied for a passport by Tatkal thro one of Ameture agent. I have paid rs. 4000 in addition to the govt. fees. He filled up the form and directed me to a Passport Checking officer. He signed and receved. I got the passport in 6 Days. What a powerful agent he is? I wondered.
This is my experience.
Dear Could you please give me the address details of the agent who helped you to get the passport within 6days. So that it will help others. Thanks
