Proposal to issue Passport to CG Employees through their respective departments…
This doubt has been raised in the Parliament and the Minister of
External Affairs has submitted a written reply to this question, "Since
the issue of passports is a Central subject and was allotted to the
Ministry of External Affairs under the Transaction of Business Rules,
the issuance of passports in India is done solely by Ministry of
External Affairs through designated Passport Issuing Authorities, which
are MEA Headquarters (CPV Division), 37 Passport Offices, Andaman &
Nicobar Islands Administration and Missions/Posts abroad. Hence,
passports to Central Government employees and their family members will
continue to be issued by these designated Passport Issuing Authorities".
'NO OBJECTION CERTIFICATE' FOR PASSPORT :
'NOC' for Passport...
At present the employees are working in Central Government, passport
would be issued on prior police verification of citizenship and
character. If the employee submits a declaration duly acknowledged by
his Head of Department to the effect that he has informed his employer
of his intention to apply for a passport. In case, proper ‘No Objection
Certificate’ is submitted, then passport will be issued without Police
Verification.
