hi, i had faced this situation , i luckily submit it on time. passport office won't re-issue on tatkal basis due to ur damaged passport. apply in general quota & within a week request to Regional passport officer (R.K puram, first floor near room no 8) about ur urgency. don't stand in queue for meeting officer sitting in room no 8.

If the passport is damaged, it is damaged. Get a new one issued. No point in just being tensed. It is just a travel document to legally 'pass a port'. You might have to pay the fee for re-issuing your passport - not a fine...Yes, they will require some kind of documentation that your current passport is damaged beyond use.

Dear Sir / Madam

As per Geneva convention , passport / travel document must be in good shape. You need to get a fresh passport.

Kind Regards
