    Yes, the fees for Indian passports have been changed. However, don't worry, you can calculate the exact fee on the official Passport Seva website using the passport fee calculator based on your application type. It will inform you of the fees for various services, including Police Clearance Certificate, Identity Certificate, Surrender Certificate, etc. You can calculate the exact fees you need to pay by simply entering your details. I estimated my passport fee using the same tool; you guys should also try it once.
