NDTV Correspondent even a one year old knows this

There was always the problem of documents, all sorts of nonsense was happening at the Regional Passport Offices, not to mention the police verification (read harassment). Now the Passport Office nonsense is gone, hope the problem with Police Verification is also solved!

In continuation of my previous comment, I was trying to get a passport for my nephew in 2011 as he was to go to INSEAD Paris as a transfer student, but the Police wala threatened that without a bribe to police even the President of India would not be able to get a passport. Such was the bragging

Guys what you have not seen other points of bribery for passport that has been eliminated. 1.Application Form: Queue early or get in black from those guys 2. Want to check status everytime join long queue or bribe. 3. Police bribery for verification Today we don't have item 1 and item 2 but still item 3. Why don't create a channel on social media like Facebook and everyone just put the name of police officer name, thana, city, state. Secondly you can get a character certificate from your local ward commissioner and approach police. Finally rather than fighting against them you prefer to bribe them. I got my passport after quite a delay 15-16 years back but without a single paisa of bribery.

You should have local Andreas proof for mp incase you need it in mp

All steps you've given are apt if you have all the identity and address proofs matching. for 1st time passport applicants the birth certificate ,ssc certificate, their address and identity proofs should match alphabet wise else
