Hyderabad: The passport authorities promise to make the life of citizens seeking new passports and renewals easier from November 25. They have also promised to do away with the menace of middle men and make the services accessible and less cumbersome with the help of online slot booking facility.
Addressing the media after inaugurating the new passport centre at Begumpet on Tuesday, the Regional Passport Officer K Srikar Reddy said once the citizens file applications online, they would be given time to be present at the passport centre and it would take just 40 to 45 minutes to complete the procedure. They would then be getting passport in the shortest possible time, he said.
Hyderabad Regional Passport Officer (RPO) K Srikar Reddy said that the three passport centres would be established at Gowra Trinity Complex at Begumpet, Anand Silicon Chip centre at Towlichowki and Aditya trade centre Ameerpet in the city. Another three centres would be set up at Pragatinagar in Nizamabad, MG Road in Vijayawada and Annmayya Marg in Tirupathi.
The new system is being launched as a joint venture with Tata Consultancy Services. The officials also assured that this new system would do away with the menace of touts fleecing the passport seekers. The entire system is being computerised and would bring down 80 per cent of manual work involved in passport process to zero,” said Mr Srikar Reddy.
Even police verification which results in undue delay in issuing passport would also be done online. The practice until now is to send and receive the details through post.
With an existing system, the passport issuance process under the Tatkal scheme takes at least 7-14 days and in general scheme 35-45 days. But with the proposed system, the time period for passport issuance under Tatkal and normal scheme would come down to 1-3 days and 7-30 days respectively, said the RPO.
With integration of slot booking system, there is no need to queue up at the passport office from early dawn nor would the passport offices be crowded, Reddy added.
