ITR, EPFO to passport: Major financial changes from July 1 - The Hindu
The United Arab Emirates has introduced revised fees for several Indian passport-related services, with the updated charges taking effect from July 1. The changes apply to passport renewal, replacement, fresh passport applications, and various miscellaneous consular services offered through Indian diplomatic missions and authorized service centres across the UAE. The revised pricing reflects updated administrative and operational costs associated with passport processing. Indian citizens living in the UAE are encouraged to review the latest fee structure before submitting applications to avoid unexpected expenses or processing delays. While the application procedure and eligibility requirements remain unchanged, applicants should ensure they carry the required documents and pay the applicable revised charges. The update is particularly important for expatriates planning travel, renewing expired passports, or replacing damaged or lost passports. Checking the official website of the Embassy of India or the designated passport service provider is recommended for the most accurate and current information before applying.
