Adverse or pending verification
Confirm the Indian address and police station. If a criminal case is cited, obtain the FIR and court record rather than relying only on the tracker.
Court proceedings and passport orders
Review bail, attendance or travel conditions with the passport decision. Canadian residence does not remove an Indian court condition, but the court may consider a supported application.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do when Canadian tracking shows adverse police verification?
Identify the Indian police station and objection, then obtain the relevant factual or case record before responding.
Does Canadian citizenship remove an old Indian passport order?
No. The legal effect of citizenship and the existing order must each be examined from their dates and records.
Can a Canadian affidavit correct an Indian FIR entry?
An affidavit may support facts, but the correction or legal remedy must occur through the competent Indian process.
Can the consular service grant permission in an Indian criminal case?
No. Permission concerning the case comes from the competent Indian court.
When does Section 11 appeal become relevant?
It becomes relevant after an appealable passport order is communicated; check the order and limitation period.
Should travel be booked while the passport issue is unresolved?
Avoid assuming an outcome or processing date. Check passport validity, any court condition and any separate immigration restraint.
