Here’s how to apply for tatkal passport online

The Indian Passport is issued by the Ministry of External Affairs, Government of India, through a network of 37 passport offices across the country and the 180 Indian embassies and consulates located abroad. The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) has developed provisions for speedy dispensation of passport under the “Tatkaal plan,” despite the lengthy nature of the passport application process. In terms of documentation and verification, people might only require a few additional documents for the tatkal application. However, tatkal passports take 1-3 days to get dispatched, and normal passports take up to 30 working days.
