Tatkal Renewal of passport without Verification letter

I was ready with online application for Renewal of passport in regular scheme, but for visa stamping I was asked by my company to get the passport renewed within 10 days. So I decided to go for Tatkal Scheme.

http://passport.gov.in/cpv/TatkalScheme.htm

Tatkal passport scheme has to options listed on there website
1. Get Verfication letter i.e  ANNEXURE ‘F’ and standard affidavit as Annexure “I”
2. From fourteen documents listed provide the three (No longer valid)

As I had difficulty in getting Verification Letter, I decided to go for 2nd option. Even though this option is listed on website it is no longer valid and cannot be used. I will check this with passport office and update.

Getting verification letter in time was a problem, So I went to a Agent(I strictly don't promote use of agents, but life never goes by ur plans). Agent charged me 6500(including passport fees) and with few documents like
        1. Two electricity bills
        2. One year bank statement
        3. Marriage certificate to include wife name
        4. Degree certificate
        5. Affidavit (Annexure I)

I was able to submit the Tatkal renewal application, no questions asked on the verification window just got all things cleared in one minute.

Bottom-line:
1. Verification letter can be obtained from Banking officials, Class 1 officers if you know them personally or through a person who knows them.
2. Go for Normal processing without agent its very easy process.
3. Last, if you really need the passport urgently and no option of Verification letter go to the agent, list of authorized agents http://passport.gov.in/pune.html#talist.

Comment me if u need agent number whom I went with.
