The Ministry has been receiving
references from Passport issuing Authorities (PIAS) to evolve a specific fee structure for the Short Validity Passports (SVP) since in terms of iCAO guidelines now
only machine readable printed passports are being issued and the issue for handwritten passports, except in emergency cases, have been discontinued w.e.l.
01l04l2O1O It has also been noticed that some Missions instead of issuing a fresh
booklet for SVP are extending the validity of SVP by making endorsement on it
without levying any fee and, thereby, inviting audit objections.
