I have been mailing liverpool passport office regularly since I submitted my passport application. I was getting prompt reply from them. But for the past 10/15 days I mailed thrice and to my surprise i received no reply from them.
What could be the reason??

Email is not a guaranteed communication channel with guaranteed delivery.

The office in question could be facing one or more of:
technical issues;
staff shortages;
work overload;

Or there could have been:
a change of staff;
&/or change of email policy;

You yourself may also be facing one or more technical (or other) challenges such as;
mailbox overload;
email address blocked;
over-enthusiastic spam mail filter;
email address change;
email client change;
computer connection issues

The last time we had a similar question, it transpired that a family member had ordered something on the internet. :|

Indeed, remember it well.

I decided that was lower down on the order of probabilities this time based on likelihood of eBay/Amazon penetration into OP's country and also his recent submission of documents at HO request.

Congratulations.
With your initial post dating from Wed, Dec 28, 2011, this is one of the longest journeys I'm aware of on the board - your patience and fortitude is admirable.

Rule Brittania!

Fascinating indeed! So when are you arriving in Britain ? :-) I suppose you are also aware that you have 3 months to renounce your Indian citizenship and then apply for your OCI.
Cheers,
