It is 7000 rs. but 175 in US dollars really?? get your math straight!

If somebody is applying for OCI, its obvious that he/she has got an indian passport to be cancelled / surrendered.. why charge double fees.

Australian Department of Immigration & Multi-cultural Affairs (DIMA) during the 1990s decade took away Indian passports while giving Australian citizenship to those Indians - we had no choice but hand-over those passports to DIMA. Those cancelled Indian passports would have EXPIRED by now & unusable & paying $25 for cancellation of expired passports is unethical & ridiculous as it is linked to visa.

Many people have similar concerns but did not find any forum to bringout. Indian Embassy staff across the globe have to be retrained for customer interaction and role model. I suggest it would be better to employ local people in our embassies or at least on the friend desk management.
