(a) to (d) As on date, there are 521 Passport Kendras (93 Passport Seva Kendras and 428 Post Office Passport Seva Kendras) are operational in the country. In Maharashtra, 46 Passport Kendras (8 Passport Seva Kendras and 38 Post Office Passport Seva Kendras) are operational. State wise list of Passport Seva Kendras, Post Office Passport Seva Kendras and list of Passport Kendras in Maharashtra are attached at Annexure I, II & III respectively.

The number of persons who availed services of these centers during the current year along with the Passports issued /renewed during last three years State/UT-wise is attached at Annexure-IV.

The demand for Passports has been rising. However, due to COVID-19 Pandemic in the year 2020-21, passports applications witnessed a decrease.

Opening of PSK is an ongoing activity and depends on various factors including distance from the Passport Kendras and volume of applications from a particular region.
