Hi,

I am Yogesh Chandwani. I had applied for the passport for Myself on 24/07/2007, police verification was conducted on 9/08/2007 and I am constantly checking the status on line.Earlier it was showing me that passport will be delivered on 02/10/ 2007. Now it's showing it will be delivered in a week's time. Now this message has been coming from last 23 Days. Please help me out.

I had submitted my passport application in April 2006 at passport office Bareilly in general scheme ( of 35 days & Rs: 1000/-fee ). Though it is already more then a year, I have not received my passport yet.

police enquiry was not complete,because i had to join my course in pune at that time,later there was no enquiry,neither at pune ,nor at my home.
I have already missed my training in Singapore two times just because of the delay in passport.
now i am in need of passport as could not attend any interwiew call ,without the passport

I had applied for my passport through regional passport office gaziabad on 31st march 2006, till date I have not recived the passport, just because I dint oil the palms of the people designated to come for address verification.

I want to know that when I have paid the required fee of Rs 1000/- in the passport office alongwith the required documents and also fulfilled all the neccessary conditions for the same, why am I required to pay any additional fees to the passport and police personnel coming for address verificaion?

Is it that they are not paid by the government to do their jobs? Or they are living in miserable conditions that to earn their bread butter they are solely dependent on their black income?

If the fees which they claim we have to pay , really has to be paid then why is is not mentioned on the passport form or any of the passport websites? How correct are they and our rules and regulations that on paying a fees of merely 200 - 300 bucks they are can show the residents status as "staying in the house for last 5 yrs", even if the resident is staying in that house only for 6 mths or less than a year.

Contray to this , if the applicant is not paying them the "extra fees" , even if he is staying in a particular location for 1 year or more, his status is shown as negative.

And all these things are happeing under the nose of our dear government. When the whole system is corrupted where will the common man go for his grieveince redressal?

I want to know that who is the right person to complain to in this regard?
