If you have to visit passport office pune, then standing in line and getting to the window can be tiresome process. Normally the passport office opens at 10.00 am and the queue of people goes more then 300-400. Even though they have started giving online appointments everybody gets the timing of 10.00 am by default. So you will still have to stand in line patiently waiting for your turn, the online appointment only give you a slot for the day and doesn't give any timing slot.
Recently I had to visit passport office for Passport renewal 3 times and here is what my experience says.
1. If you want your work to be done before 11.00 am, make sure you go and stand in line around 7.30 to 8.00 am still your number would be somewhere between 40 -50.
2. Though there are 350+ people waiting outside, make a note that they all have different works(renewal, fresh passport, minor, etc) and hence they will go to different windows inside the office.
So the queue outside office gets cleared by 11.00. So if you visit passport office at 11.00 you will directly get entry inside the office and though you might spend waiting 1/2 hour or max 1 hour at the window line, so its really worth.
3. Tatkal processing and normal processing happens at the same windows.
4. In the line outside the office you will encounter a person who will verify your appointment date on form and based on kind of service you require will assign the window. Inside the office you wait at the respective window.
5. If you already have submitted your application for processing and have a inquiry, go to inquiry line which is separate at the inquiry window along with your payment receipt. They will issue you a form and then you can go inside the office if required.
6. If you cant make at appointment day, simply take another appointment, nobody cares whether you come at appointment day or not. So no penalties, nobody cares.
Bottomline:
Visit the office at 11.00 you will directly get entry inside the office and though you might spend waiting 1/2 hour or max 1 hour at the window line, so its really worth.
You will avoid waiting in the queue for 2-3 hours.
