The passport cost in Indian varies depending on the passport type and number of pages. The normal passport of 36 pages costs Rs 1500, and a 60-page passport costs Rs 2000. However, if you opt for a Tatkaal passport, then you need to pay an additional fee. Here, the price also depends on the number of pages. The cost of a 36-page passport is Rs 3500, and a 60-page passport is Rs 4000.

    While applying online for an Indian passport, you need to pay Rs 1500 for a 36-page booklet. However, if you applied offline at the passport office, the officials might ask you whether you need a passport cover or SMS service. In case you choose it, then you might have to pay an extra fee along with the passport fee.
