Below is the procedure to follow for the new passport and What I followed and when I got the passport.
Passport procedure:
After entering into the office, there are actually 5 stages. I attended in Hyderabad @Ameerpet branch.
So below are the stages in Ameerpet branch;
Stage 1: Need to wait in the queue for our turn.(Actually queue looks very big, but it will be cleared very quickly when your allocated time reaches)
Stage 2: Initial verification of the documents, here they will verify and says your documents are valid or not. If This verification is cleared, They will give you the token/coupon(coupon starts with A, which means A counters). your proofs are valid and there wont be any issues for you to submit the passport application form.
Stage 3: In this stage you need to go to the any available A counters. Here they verify the docs and takes a photo with digital camera and 1500/- rupees for the passport fees. This Photo will come on passport. So better go with neat face or make-up
Stage 4: B counter for just verification of documents
