Pune, 9 April 2026

 

The Regional Passport Office (RPO) Pune is organizing a Special Passport Drive for Normal and Tatkaal category applicants. This drive will be conducted at Passport Seva Kendra (PSK), Pune on Saturday, 11^th April 2026. The initiative is being taken as part of the Ministry of External Affairs’ initiative to make passport appointments available at an earlier date and to further improve the delivery of passport services.

The Normal passport category requires applicants to submit complete and correct documents as prescribed under the Passport Rules. Applicants are advised to carefully read the instructions available on the Passport India website and ensure document sufficiency and eligibility to avoid inconvenience on the day of appointment. Incomplete or incorrect documentation may lead to non-acceptance of the application.

The Tatkaal scheme requires additional documents and has stricter eligibility guidelines. Many applicants fail on either or both criteria and thus cannot submit applications successfully. The applicants are requested to carefully read the Tatkaal Advisory & Tatkaal Undertaking and ensure document sufficiency & eligibility to avoid any potential issues on the appointment day. To know about Tatkaal ineligible categories, please visit:
