The Ministry has noticed that many fake websites and apps are collecting applicant data and charging high fees for filling out online forms and booking passport appointments. Some of these fraudulent sites use domain names like .org, .in, and .com, such as www.indiapassport.org, www.online-passportindia.com, www.passportindiaportal.in, www.passport-india.in, www.passport-seva.in, and www.applypassport.org, among others.
The ministry advises all citizens applying for Indian passports and related services to avoid the fraudulent websites mentioned and not make any payments through them. The official website for passport services is www.passportindia.gov.in.
4 to 5 days of under maintenance of the official website of passport seva. @MEAIndia the website is still working so slow that it’s equivalent to the previous days when the site was shut down.
Please @MEAIndia make it faster than the previous version not more slow.
