The Government of India have introduced machine readable passports (MRP) from 26th August, 2007.  Effective from the date, the passports are prepared  by printing system located in India.  The process for delivery of passports takes up to four weeks from the date when the application is filed.  The short validity passport in emergency cases is issued with a validity of six months under Tatkal Scheme.  Tatkal service fee is charged if request for passport on emergency basis is made under the Tatkal Scheme.  The short validity passport in case of emergency will be issued at the request of the applicants.  However, applicants are advised to apply for MRP at the earliest.  The MRP is not an extension of the earlier passport and is therefore, charged separately.
