The only way to renew your Indian passport is to apply online through the Indian government's Passport website. The renewal process is the same as applying for a new passport, except that you need to select the 'Passport Renewal' option. Along with the application form, you need to upload all the requested documents, pay the fee, and then book an appointment at the Passport Seva Kendra (PSK). On the appointment day, you must be physically present at the passport office, along with the original documents and a printout of your completed online application form, for verification. If all things go well, your passport photo will be taken, and your passport file will be sent to the Regional Passport Officer for police verification. If the verification process is successful, you will receive your new passport within 10 days at your registered address.

    I recently renewed my passport, and it took 8 days to process. For me, the application process was quite straightforward. First, I thought it would be difficult as my passport had expired 1.5 years ago, but I was wrong. Thanks to the Indian government and the immigration officers for making things straightforward. The site was simple to use, and all information was clearly presented. Hope this was helpful for you.
