Hi,

I am renewing my Indian passport which is due to expire in 5 months and has my Indian address which is a valid address.

In the passport renewal online form there are 2 addresses to be mentioned -
Address to be printed on passport and Other address.

Now for the Address to be printed on passport - I have put my valid Indian address.
For Other address - I have put my UK address (which I found guidance in these forums for)

Along with the application for renewing my Indian passport VFS also asks for submitting Annexure E.
I want to ask what do we fill in Annexure E which also needs to be submitted as per VFS, I called their helpline but they are saying to ask at counter when submitting, which is not very helpful.

Annexure E is asking the following:

I, …………………………...(name), son/ daughter/ wife of Shri ………………………residing at
...……………………………………………………………………..……………………………..
Date of Birth ……………………… being an applicant for issue of passport, do hereby
solemnly affirm and state the following:
1. That the names of my parents and spouse are as follows:
(i) Father :
(ii) Mother :
(iii) Wife/Husband :
2. That I am a continuous resident at the above mentioned address
from……………………………………………………………………………………………

My question is do we put Indian address or the UK address in Annexure E.

Many thanks in advance for your time taken to review and reply, it is much appreciated.

Hi,
I have been trying the same. I am not able to select any day to schedule an appointment. Weekdays seem to be struck out, weekends seem to be available along with 29-March, but you cannot select them.

Have sent multiple emails to VFS and HCI but no response. Tried calling VFS but could not get through. This is frustrating - no passport for a month now.

Please anyone get any update then post here.

I would suggest you to put the permanent address - the valid Indian address - that you want to get printed on your passport.

Hey, I understand it opens only for 1 day, but is it like it opens for 1 day in a month ? or 1 day in a week?

I have also been trying for past few days without any luck. I went through this and many other threads to understand that appointment window opens around 6pm UK. Let me try my luck from tomorrow. If anyone else has got appointment recently [for renewal of Indian passport], please do share the details here. Thanks
