• How to respond to show case notice issued by passport office

I applied for renewal of my expired passport in RPO office.
I am doing job in Hyderabad and staying in a rented house, since there is no proper address proof available I have submitted my permanent address proof of my home town khammam in passport application form.
During the police verification I was not present at my residence in home town. So I was issued a showcase notice.
How could I address this issue. Please suggest.

- Submit a reply of the show cause notice , after narrating that due to joining in Hyderabad , you was out of the city , and enclose a proof of the same. 

- Since, you are working in Hyderabad, then you should also submit a letter from the employer., and if verification was done by your employer at the time of joining , then submit the same as well with your reply.

In reply to show cause notice mention that your permanent address is Khammam 

 

that you were not available at said address as you are working at Hyderabad 

 

submit your registered rental agreement or any other documentary evidence

Your presence is not required. Any of your family members can say that you stay there. Even passport can be collected by you from the post office if required

Hello,

  1. Contact the concerned police station and inform them that you were unable to remain present during verification as you were away at work and offer to remain present when they direct.
  2. There is nothing to be worried about. It is a process. At the most the police can send a report stating you could not be verified. You can also visit the concerned police station and explain.

1. Well your application is not rejected as yet.  You are only given a show cause. 

2. Si you still have an opportunity to prove your address by meeting the police in person. 

3. So without delay either go and meet or seek extension of time.

If you have been served with a show cause notice by the passport department in this regard, you may give an explanation in writing narrating the facts in the explanation.

There is nothing wrong in giving the permanent address, however you could have given the current address too, because You were not available in the permanent address and moreover you have bee living in the current address for more than a year. 

Even now you can give an explanation  properly and request for re verification by police.

Your passport will be issued if you are available in the given address during police verification.

Firstly you should reply tot he said notice by explaining the situation in a apologist manner. Secondly, you should demand the copy/ list of the concern information. Remember to visit concerned RPO if an adverse report is already filed and get it closed permanently. Upon your request and a max penalty of rs 5000/- you can get it closed and apply again for fresh.

1. You should have either made yourself available at the address mentioned by you as your permanent address in the passport application form or given the rental address where you are presently residing. There is no law which prevents a person from applying for passport by giving his rental address.

2. Reply to the show cause notice through your lawyer and say that you will now be available at the mentioned address for police verification.

You will have to respond to the SCN immediately since it is issued to you..however, in the meanwhile you should request somebody to visit the local police station and enquire which officer visited your place and speak to him and withdrawing the SCN if possible and explain that you do not reside on that address however it is your permanent address only..

Hi,

if you have  still the address  at the the permanent address you gave in the application, can request passport office for re verification .Next verification time any relative or family member can give details that you reside there , it is not necessary that you in person have to give details.

visit the passport officer with the notice to get the re-verification issued.

Police only verifies, if you lives there. And if you were not present at that time, can verify from neighbors. You can write to RPO, that given address is your permanent address and you lives on rent in Hyderabad due to job. Attach your address proof.

No infirmity committed by you.

You should have given your temporary address of Hyderabad and permanent address of your hometown. Anyways now if you are living in Hyderabad permanently ie doing job then explain this to the authorities that you were confused as to whether to this address or that because you thought that it wouldn't reach Hyderabad. Explain to them the situation. It was a simple misunderstanding.
