You cannot mention this address as your permanent address but you can use it as your postal address. However address mentioned en electricity bell, ration card, municipality for house tax etc do not support your title in the property It is mere confusionand it can be eliminated easily . You can give an affidavit to your landlord regarding use of his house as address in passport in capacity of tenant only and you shall not use it or claim thereon for any purpose.

1) you can mention your rented address as temporary residential address in the application for passport

2) you can mention your permanent address wherein your parents are staying as your permanent residential address

1) try to convince him that you have mentioned your parental home as your permanent address and you have no interests to claim any share in rented flat owned by landlord

2) if your landlord is refusing to give NOC for use of rented flat as present address in your passport application inform the landlord that you would like to vacate the premises .

You have the right to use the rented address as the address for passport verification unless it is mentioned therein that you cannot use it. The RPO is wrong in asking you to get a NOC. You may challenge the decision of RPO in the High Court which can quash it.

You should take your landlord in confidence because when he refuses to give permission how can you compel him. He should know that mentioning a address does not create any right in the property.

Applicants are required to submit the proof of address of the present address only, irrespective of the date from which he/she has been residing at the given address. However, he/she is required to mention all the places of stay during previous one year (from the date of application filling) in the Passport application form.

For Proof of Address

You are required to submit atleast 1 of the documents listed below.

1 Water Bill

2 Telephone (landline or post paid mobile bill)

Dont you have a registered Rent agreement, because in Maharashtra, the rent agreement are to be compulsorily registered. ? If you have a registered rent agreement for a period more than one year, this agreement attested copy shall be a valid proof of address, you need not approach the house owner for NOC and the passport authorities also cannot insist on it.

1) In future you might claim on the property on the basis of the address in your passport

This is ridiculous;

2) If my family member shift to this house sometime later, he might not be use the address as it is locked by you and one address can be used by only one family,

The house owner's fears are unnecessary and he is unwilling to give NOC keping his own fears in his mind but you cannot force him.

That i have already proposed, he is not agreeing to the same. Request you to also revert on the point number 2. I have mentioned the rented address as the present residential address, this is the way it is written on the passport form

You have no answered whether your rental agreement is a registered document or not, if it is a registered document for more than one year, you need not take NOC from house owner and it is a valid document as per item No. 12 of list of proof of address.
