Pakistan is a qualifying Commonwealth Country thus you are required by law to register. I have applied for Nat. But I have never been on electoral role or casted vote. Will this cause any issue?

Do we need to fill Indian Pssport details ?

I had 2 cancelled and one uncancelled passport. Do we need to fill all passort details?
