Applied for a fresh passport I stead of renewal by mistake
6 years ago
Recently I submitted fresh application form instead of reissue of passport by mistake for my son's application.
His passport is still valid for another 6 months, this was a merely negligence and mistake with no deliberate intention to suppress any information.
While applying online form I had uploaded copy of existing passport along with other documents and same was provided at the PSK when asked by the granting officer.
I missed to check the application receipt at counter A & B so same could not be rectified there.. I am asked to pay a fine of rs 5000 and application is kept on hold with future appointment date.
Please suggest if this penalty is valid? Can I wait for the file to be closed after 3 months and apply new form mentioning previous file details etc, will this save me with the penalty.
