anybody who can answer...!!
From what I understand, her new passport is the one which is valid. All renewed passports contain the last Passport file number.
She cannot hold two valid Indian passports as per law so the new one is the one on which she will travel and be valid (the validity is given on the ID page).
In the travel history form, there is a question asked about how many passports held and there you give the number of previous passports and write the Passport numbers down if I remember correctly.
You only send the ID page and Address page (photocopy).
Which documents are you looking to get notarized-- follow the regional application guide for India when preparing your application. All instructions are given there!
