Regional Passport Office, Bangalore has announced that with effect from July 2, it would be changing the release schedule of passport appointments (as was done before March 2012). In a release, Dr K.J. Srinivasa, Regional Passport Officer, said releasing of appointments will be one-and-a half-days (36 hours) ahead of the scheduled appointment date so as to increase the appointment window availability and to provide greater time period for citizens to apply for passport services. This change has been effected due to the introduction of passport seva project since May 2010 in collaboration with Tata Consultancy Service (TCS).. “Now with these changes in place, online tatkaal appointments will not be released. However applicants desirous of tatkaal processing would be required to book appointments under normal registration,” said Dr Srinivasa. — Our Bureau
