A Munshi came from police station at my home to verify address. After all formalities they asked me for Rs.800 for 4 passport verifications as a suwida centre fee (Rs.200 per passport). when I asked that fee is Rs.100/passport. Then he said, "YOU ARE NOT CO-OPERATING ME and I will not do your paper work". In anger he said, come to the police station tomorrow and pay the fee by yourself.
I said OK. As my verification was for RE-ISSUE so I didn't bothered very much and I know this job is compulsory for police to do within 21days and they get Incentive of Rs.100 per passport from passport office and after 21 days they get Rs.25 only.
Next day I went to police station and paid the fee of Rs.100 and got the receipt. After 10 days I got my passport by post.
