Information
GERNAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR APPLICANTS:
a. Your passport
is a valuable document. It should always be either in
your own custody or in the custody of a person duly
authorized by you. It must not be altered or mutilated
in any way. If lost or destroyed, the fact and circumstances
should be immediately reported to the nearest Indian
Mission and to the local police.
b. It is an offense under the Passports Act 1967 to give
false information in the Application. Passport facilities
can be denied on grounds of suppression of factual information,
submission of false particulars, willful damage of passport
and for making unauthorized changes in the passports.
Note: Indian Citizenship Law Does Not Provide For Dual Citizenship
and, accordingly, it is illegal for a person to possess
an Indian Passport once he/she has become a citizen
of another country. The holder of an Indian passport
should therefore return his/her Indian passport to the
nearest Indian Consulate/Embassy on becoming citizen
of any other country (including the US).
