I was trying to get passport for my 3 years old son. Firstly, I was not getting the new application form anywhere in the Bangalore one centeres and the Speed Post offices. Hence, I had to get the new passport application form from a speed post office in Mysore. Since, we are staying in bangalore, we need to submit the form in Bangalore only. So, After updating the form and getting all the supporting docuemnts attested by gazetted officer, We went to submit in the nearest Speed post office, Jayanagar. Initially, they checked all the documents and later they told that they will not collect the application form for minor child. We need to submit either in the General Post office (GPO) or in PSK.We went to PSK which was closed that day due to some govt holiday which i did'nt know. Then decided to go to GPO since we had come so far. Worst thing happend when we went there. I had spent around 300 bucks for Auto that day without any result.
In the GPO, i was told that they have stopped collecting the forms long back. I was so frustrated that day. My son also had to undergo all this exertion. People at GPO were very rude to answer. Then I decided to talk to the Manager. It was surprising to know that even he did'nt had clear idea about this and he was asking other staffs there. He told me to wait. Me and My son waited for almost an hour and was told the samething that they will not collect the form. It was very painful and biiter experience which we encounetered just to submit our passport application forms.
Next week, We went to nearby BangaloreOne Center and even there, they are saying that they will not collect the forms. They will just verify the documents and for the submission we need to go to other BangaloreOne present in Banashankari BDA complex.
Since I'm working, I cannot take my son to PSK which is very far from my place. Hence, I was trying to submit at BanagloreOne or Speed Post office centres.
Totally, It was a very biiter experience and till now, I'm not able to submit the passport application form of my son.
Can the Concerned people look into this and take some action so that it'll ease the public in getting a new passport?
