Hi, My passport was printed today. Does anyone know if it's okay to approach the consulate and pick up the passport directly?

There’s an option to opt for pickup rather than postal? When I went to BLS they told me that they will mail it to me and I didn’t have the option to pick it up :(

Wow the timeline from “under review” to “print initiated” was really quick! Any idea whether they did a police verification for you?

What’s the status on portal3.passportindia.gov.in?

I submitted my passport renewal application at BLS Toronto on 9th September. How long does it take for the file number to be generated?

There's only one CGI in Toronto, it's the bloor street east one.

They gave me the police certificate. I asked them if they would inform BLS and they said they would. I'm going to try my best to get BLS to close out the case.

I went over to the Consulate General and I was very pleasantly surprised. There was one counter dedicated to PCC/Passport services and there was no line at all. I went in, gave them my ARN and they printed it on the spot. The passport portal now says the PCC is printed. I'm going to contact...

I'm in the same boat as you. My status changed late last week to Police Verification Report is clear.PCC is available for issuance." I'm going over to the consulate tomorrow to see if they can help out. I'm sure going physically could speed it up.
