Surrendered my Indian passport last week. Experienced the best and worst of Indian bureaucracy at the consular services centre. I was refused entry because I did not have a printout of the email confirmation of my appointment even though I could show them said email on my phone. Then, I was given an appointment for 12.30 but the officers were on their lunch break. Why not just give people appointments before or after said lunch break time?!
Anyway, after waiting way longer than planned, I finally met with the officer who would check my form. Turns out I hd carelessly filled in incorrect information. On a government form. For a very important passport matter. But instead of outright rejecting my application, they accepted my apologies and my incorrectly filled form 😂
