I called BLS yesterday and lady over phone was surprised when I told her about the status on govt portal.

According to her BLS did not received passport and she refused to answer when I asked HCI has hand over the passport.
She said she can not tell how BLS process internally.

My application status on the passportindia.gov website has been "Print has been initiated for passport" for a week now (since 29 Sept). Any suggestions on how long it takes to get the passport at this point? I submitted my application in person on August 27 at BLS Toronto (Lawrence East).

It wouldn't bother me as much if they didn't keep the original passport during the application process. I'm only worries incase I need to travel back to India in an emergency. My current passport still had a few months if validity left.

My passport application status is showing:- Passport has been handed over by the Embassy/Consulate to the OSP executive for further dispatch to the applicant.

Does this mean that renewal is done and they will courier it to me now? Can I check the courier status with bls?
