January 13, 2025 at 8:14 amHiI renewed my passport it got delivered home 2 weeks back.
I just got a call from the police station telling me that since my house is on rent my passport is getting rejected.
The thing is a part of my house is on rent and I stay with my family in the other half. I have been residing here since birth,
Can this be a reason for my passport rejection?

January 13, 2025 at 12:09 pmI don’t think they’ll take bribe for this, so don’t assume that in advance, I’ve got this thing done by visiting the police station it’s a simple process but you must visit.

January 13, 2025 at 8:33 amRejected after renewal? Was it a tatkaal if not then it was supposed to be renewed after clearance only. And living in a rented place does not make you ineligible.-

January 13, 2025 at 12:00 pmFor passport renewal, a post-police verification is conducted if there are no changes to the Name, Address or any other personal details in the application. I received my renewed passport within 24 hours and police verification happened 48-72 hours post that.-

January 13, 2025 at 1:44 pmReceived a call from the cop; he asked basic questions like what is my profession and why I need a passport. He also asked me if I have any criminal history and pending FIR against my name and then requested me to WhatsApp my Aadhar to him. That’s it, next day the status changed to ‘police report has been submitted to the SP office’. This is the process in Kerala; it might differ in your area and they might ask you to visit the station.

January 13, 2025 at 8:34 amHouse being on rent is no excuse. Police are only supposed to verify your address – not discuss its ownership.Maybe you have not factored the chai pani expenses they expected.

January 13, 2025 at 9:05 amThey come home for the verification. Take some pics of you, get you to sign some papers and thats about it. If they have already tried you at home and you werent around – they may ask you to come in to the station.Depending on their other intent – you will get some additional messaging like the cost of living or be asked to come to the station to complete some formalities. Please ensure to have your envelope ready in such cases.

January 13, 2025 at 12:08 pmYou need to visit or ask anyone in your family to visit. I don’t think they’ll verify without a visit. That’s what happened in my case. They called me and asked me (or any of my family member) to visit there with some document. I sent my father and then it was done. -

January 14, 2025 at 6:17 amhey I had the same issue. I am an NRI and our house in India is on rent. I stay with my dad whenever visiting home. Police refused to complete the verification for my daughter’s PP because of this and said I needed to apply from my dad’s PRO.After greasing some palms, and lot of appeasing and requesting, he called back “mam I am writing that you are an NRI and that the renters are your friends so you stay in their house whenever you visit.” Problem solved, PP received.

January 14, 2025 at 4:46 amIn that case better OP should contact the Passport office directly. The police story seems fishy. Every independent house in cty, puts some floor on rent. This couldn’t be a reason to cancel the passport.

January 13, 2025 at 10:47 amCall Passport seva Kendra helpline and lodge a complaint against him. How was passport issued without his valid report? Wont they take action against him if he now decides to change the report. You can meet him if you still think it but I doubt he can send revocation now without putting himself in trouble.My father had bought our home many years back. The fucker before us had tampered the electricity meter. Within a week of us buying he also filed a complaint of meter tampered to get bounty (they share a percentage with informers) so essentially bastard implicated us for his own wrongdoing. After that we had to pay a hefty penalty. Now these cases are compoundable which means like a traffic fine, once you pay the fine, crime gets expunged as if it never existed. A cop called my father after we had paid the fine threatening him of some nonsense.
My dad asked me to look into it, I called the cop and gave me an earful about how can he harass for a compoundable offence already paid for. He never called us again. Cant trust them man.-

January 13, 2025 at 10:52 amEither way part of your house being rented to someone else is not a ground for revocation, so you can decide to meet him or skip that and even if he files an adverse report against you, he cant do much, RPO will issue you a show cause notice, and you can take his case over there.-

January 13, 2025 at 11:25 amNo such rule man, I have passport and travelled to 7 countries, except ground floor our entire house is rented out.My sister post marriage applied for a passport, considering all her documents had our home address she applied it from our address the cop was ranting how after marriage she can’t apply on maternal home address. We just told him to do his job, collect documents, didnt gave any bribe, pestered him to show docs that it is not allowed for her to use maternal home address and he gave in. Just be confident mate.

January 14, 2025 at 1:55 amThat’s the issue. MF govt never laid down any list of criteria for police verification. So every officer makes up his own list. For instance i read on a sub someone was asked to show docs that his grandfather isn’t a runaway from pakistan or bangladesh from 1970s or before. Like wtf.

January 13, 2025 at 3:00 pmFor renewal – police verification can happen post receipt of passport.I am not aware of the rules around renting. So canβt comment on that.
Do check the status of your passport application on the portal. There might be police verification pending.
The police might be looking at envelope by invoking fear as suggested by others.
From a practical point of view, resolving amicably with them is the best way forward.

January 13, 2025 at 11:29 amIt’s fairly common practice to ask for chai paani. Best tk just pay and be done with it. In my area (UP), even the postman will ask 100 rupees to hand over the passport. -
