I have some upcoming travels in beginning October and my present passport is in a certain embassy for Schengen visa stamping. So, I'll get it back by around 15th September probably. So, I think I can apply for a new passport only after I am back from my travel after 10th October.
Regards
Check for the current running application date at your local PSK. It might be near 10th October, so fix appointment now. For PCC, you don't need appointment and you can get it same day, if your present residence address is same as the one in passport.
