The Government of India has announced a revised passport fee structure that will come into effect on July 1, 2026. Under the new rates, a fresh ordinary passport application will cost ₹2,500, while applicants seeking expedited Tatkaal service will have to pay ₹5,000. The revised fees are part of an update to passport service charges and are expected to apply across Passport Seva Kendras nationwide. Officials said the changes aim to streamline service delivery and operational costs. Citizens planning to apply for new passports, renewals, or urgent travel documents are advised to check the updated fee schedule before submitting applications.
