Passport Fee Calculator

Passport fees in India depend on age, booklet size and whether you chose normal or Tatkal. This page uses a small teaching table: under 15 often ₹1,000; adults ₹1,500 for 36 pages or ₹2,000 for 60 pages; Tatkal adds ₹2,000 in this sketch. A 32-year-old, 36-page, normal application therefore shows ₹1,500. Confirm the live fee on passportindia.gov.in before you pay.

A sketch, then the official portal

Applicants in Lucknow and Kochi still arrive at a Passport Seva Kendra with the wrong demand draft because a blog listed 2019 prices. IndiaKit keeps an indicative table and points at the official portal. We never ask for a file number, Aadhaar or appointment OTP.

Where the figure comes from

If age < 15, fee = ₹1,000 in this model. Else 60-page booklet ₹2,000, 36-page ₹1,500. If type is Tatkal, add ₹2,000. Defaults: age 32, 36 pages, normal → ₹1,500.

Police verification, damaged-passport slabs, and some jumbo-booklet rules can differ. States do not set this fee; the Ministry of External Affairs does, via Passport Seva.

Pay only through the official site or the counter it names. This website cannot collect a passport fee.

Adult 36-page normal booklet from Lucknow

A 32-year-old in Lucknow wants a fresh 36-page passport in the normal queue. IndiaKit shows ₹1,500 indicative. She still checks the fee calculator on passportindia.gov.in on the morning of payment, because MEA can revise slabs.

We never ask for identity numbers

Indicative teaching table, not the live MEA tariff. Tatkal eligibility is a separate rule set. Official: passportindia.gov.in. No identity numbers on IndiaKit.

Common questions

Is Tatkal just +₹2,000 for everyone?

In this sketch, yes. Real Tatkal has eligibility, extra documents, and sometimes different totals. The official fee grid on passportindia.gov.in is the source.

Do children always pay ₹1,000?

This model uses age 15 as the split. Confirm minor booklets and validity on the official site; a 16-year-old is an adult in this sketch.

Can I apply here?

No. IndiaKit is a fee sketch. Applications live on passportindia.gov.in only.
