Actually that's what I am confused for - In checklist it says photograph for OCi. it never says for surrender. Does it means I can apply OCI with surrender applictaion together ?

Paid $160.10 for each applicant with return courier - Does this fee include fee for surrender application, return courier and photographs ?
We paid about $151 per applicant, which included surrender application, tracking services and photographs.
For the return courier BLS told us that it will take 25$ per applicant on top, which we said no for.
We did that at BLS Brampton

I haven't. On the Passport Seva website it has been printed as of Wednesday.

You can not do walk-ins as per the website. You have to either go with an appointment or courier the documents.
