## LOK SABHA UNSTARRED QUESTION NO.2809 TO BE ANSWERED ON 10.07.2019

## PASSPORT OFFICES IN THE COUNTRY

## † 2809.     SHRI PRATAPRAO JADHAV:

Will the Minister of EXTERNAL AFFAIRS be pleased to state:

- (a) the   number   of   passport   offices   functioning   as   on   date,   State-wise, especially in Maharashtra;
- (b) the average number of applications scrutinized per month in these offices;
- (c) whether the issuance of passports is delayed; and
- (d) if so, the details thereof along with the reasons therefor?

## ANSWER THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF EXTERNAL AFFAIRS

## [SHRI V. MURALEEDHARAN]

- (a) At present, there are 36 Passport Offices in the country as on 04 July, 2019 including three in Maharashtra. The list is at Annexure-I. There are 505 Passport Kendras functioning in the country as on 04 July, 2019 as extended arms of these 36 Passport Offices. The list is at Annexure-II.
- (b) The number of passport and passport related applications received in these 36 Passport Offices during the period January-May, 2019 is at Annexure-III.
- (c) & (d) In its Citizens' Charter, the Ministry is committed to issue a fresh passport in 'Normal' Category within 30 working days (excluding PV). In case of re-issue of an ordinary passport, the Ministry is committed to issue it within 7 working days in cases where pre-police verification is not required and within 30 working days (excluding PV) in cases where PV is required.

The average time taken to issue a passport during January-June 2019 is 11 days (excluding PV) in 'Normal' Category. It can thus be seen that there is no delay   in   issuing   passports.   However,   at   times,   the   process   of   issuance   of passports gets delayed due to the following reasons:

- i. Late receipt of police verification reports;
- ii. Receipt of incomplete police reports; and
- iii. Late submission of requisite documents by the applicants.
