The move is expected to significantly alleviate the burden on existing passport offices and reduce waiting times for applicants. It will cater to the needs of a large number of individuals, including those who may find it difficult to visit during standard working hours due to personal or professional commitments.
According to the reports, over 800,000 passports are currently pending printing, but this backlog is expected to be cleared soon as the Finance Ministry has allotted funds to purchase printing, e-passport equipment, and lamination paper.
