Just for further information, this is the email I received today after payment to VFS. Its clear, VFS will pickup passports only whose UCI is mentioned. I will send mine tomorrow, bcoz they mentioned a 30 day timeline for receiving and wait for dependent's. Until then, I hope we receive a clarification.
