A.Dear client,

Some of the reasons for the rejection of an application for a passport can be so elementary that they really shouldn't be happening. If you want to avoid making such basic mistakes then here is what you need to watch out for.

Mistakes on the application form: Before you start filling out the application form, make sure you read through the instructions very carefully. If you enter the wrong information in the wrong place, it could lead to the application being deemed invalid.
Incorrect information: The information you provided was not confirmed by the government or the documents provided by you are found to be incorrect, your passport application will get rejected.
Incorrect documents: When applying for a passport, you must also provide a number of documents. These documents are used to establish your identification, date of birth, and ECR status (Emigration Check Required). The Ministry of External Affairs has released a list of documents that must be submitted, and if you do not follow it, your application will most certainly be rejected.
Unclear documents: When you apply for a passport, you are required to submit copies of supporting documents. If the copies, which are submitted by you, are not legible in a way that obscures the information, or makes it difficult discern it, the chances of a rejection of the application goes up.
Fee not paid: When you apply for a passport, you are expected to pay a certain fee for said passport. If you fail to pay the fee in the given time, your application for a passport could be reject.
Failure to complete police verification: While you can get the passport even before the police verification is over, the process of the application is not complete till this verification is done. Many a time's applications get rejected as a result of inconclusive police verification. This can happen if you fail to provide your current address correctly. It can also happen if you are no longer available at the address you have provided. If you apply for a passport and shift before the verification, without informing the police or the passport department, you might end up with a rejected application.
Criminal history: If you have a criminal history or cases pending, then your application could be rejected. This could be done to ensure you are available in the country for the duration of the trial. In case you have been involved in a criminal investigation but the charges against you were dropped, then you might need to submit the certificate affirming the same. This will also include cases where there are warrants issued in your name.
Security reasons: There could be times when the application received could be from a person who is ranking rather high on the most wanted list by law enforcement in the country. Such applications would stand a very high chance of rejection.
Dues not paid: Let's say you have taken some big loans or have borrowed a lot on credit cards and have not been very regular with repayments, your application could get rejected. Make sure you're not buried in debt when you apply for a passport.

Some cases may require further information, or you may need to update your address or identity particulars
