    Indian Passport Surrender

    @forw.jane Thanks a lot. I did know that I can check in BLS site. It's says ready for collection. That's why few days ago I asked is there any other place to check the status other than the embassy site and I didn't get a correct reply. Thanks to you. I am going today to pic the SC.

    Actually, you have a very good point. There is no way I can get back the passport once surrendered. So it makes sense to apply for OCI with the proof of SC application.
