The Directorate General of Immigration and Passport offers fast-track services for the issuance of passports to those who want to obtain the travel document within 48 hours.
The other two categories offered by the directorate for the issuance of passports include normal and urgent. The fee structure and passport delivery time for all three categories are different.
In the normal category, the travel document is issued within 21 working days while it took five days in the urgent category.
However, the directorate delivers a passport within two working days if you apply in the fast-track category. The fee for this category is much higher than two others.
As of December 2024, the fee for a 36-page passport valid for 5 years stands at Rs 12,500, while the fee for a 10-year passport has been fixed at Rs 16,200.
The fee for a 72-page passport with five years validity stands at Rs18,500 while the 10-year validity is priced at Rs25,200.
Meanwhile, a 100-page passport with a 10-year validity period will cost Rs32,000 to the applicant.
