For my passport surrender application submitted July 10th BLS tracker says "processing at consulate general" but passport seva portal says "Entered Application reference number can not be tracked"

Does it usually take time for application to be updated on passport seva website?
 
for child passport surrender, do the child needs to be in person go along with parents or parents can submit without child with them?

I submitted mine in-person at BLS Toronto on July 4 and received the surrender certificate and cancelled passport today.

Not really required but knowing that BLS may ask you to get new photographs clicked or say missing signature/thumb impression it’s better to bring your child along

Can you use a family member's phone? or call BLS service number?

instead of clicking on Track Status button, did you login and check status of the application submitted (on seva webpage)?

Unfortunately I don't have this application # linked to my passport seva login. Reason being BLS corrected some details and initiated a new application form for me.
