    Indian passport surrender

    I did this for my son in Kolkata. It took me awfully long time ~4 weeks. I had to send multiple escalation emails to get it in 4 weeks. I also read about 1 day processing in Delhi and Bangalore RPOs, but for me the reality was very different and painful. Had to make 5-6 trips to the RPO Kolkata.
