Indian Passport Renewal from BLS Toronto

Brem said:
In my case, I have asked someone in India to reach out to the local police station mentioned in the email notification. Probably you should send someone on behalf of you to the mentioned police station.

Thank you so much for the response. I have send my parents 2 times but the local police said they have not received my file yet for verification. That's the most worrying part for me as really dont know If I can contact anyone at Indian passport office for information.

While we were contacting the local police, they did mention that they also attempted to call my Indian mobile number which I had given in the application. For some reason, I did not get any call from them, maybe not reachable.

Good that we directly contacted them, so that we come to know that they have my case for verification. But the worrying part is that even after verification, no update in the passport system. It still shows "Just PV initiated". Hoping that my police verification report would reach them next week. Things are really slow in each step, but it's moving eventually.

Yes it squite an slow process at present due to COVID-19 but I feel atleast if they complete PV I will just have to wait for final passport print from Toronto office.

Thanks for your timeline:) I have a question on update. My status on passport seva website is 'Passport application has been granted to applicant on 07/08/2020 and the application is under processing. The applicant would receive an e-mail/sms once the passport is dispatched'
How long after did your BLS status change to dispatched to BLS centre?:)

Passport application has been granted to applicant on 11/08/2020. so I guess it will take 3-4 more days. Anyways thanks for the update.
 
It took only 3 Weeks for me for the entire process. BLS services are so easy and fast. My application was received on 20 July 2020 and on 11 Aug 2020 i have the passport in my hand.

Hi Kaushal,
I hope you are doing great in this COVID situation.
Your replies helped a lot of people. Thanks for keep posting your experience on the forum.

My timeline is quite similar but it seems like mine is getting delayed with some unknown factor.
I sent my application to BLS on June 3rd, 2020.
Status Updated ob BLS on Jun 23rd 2020.
Police Verification email received on Jul 15th 2020.
and from June 23rd to till date its showing "Processing at Consulate General".

I tried calling their number and even emergency number but those are not going through.

Second I tried to contact them via email on consec.toronto@mea.gov.in. Still no response.

Can you please tell me some more channels I can go with or can approach them. Because BLS won't have any info on that until they get the passport back from CGI.

Appreciate your Help!!

Thanks,
Chirag Jain

Hi,

Hope you are doing good. I have a question related to police verification- how did you check in indian gov portal about the passport status? all i can see is update on BLS website. Could you please share the link and with what details I need to check in Indian gov website?

Get this error:
Track Application Status
Fields marked with asterisk (*) are mandatory
No status found for the entered File Number and Date of Birth.

Regards,
Varsha
