My Indian origin friend, currently studying in Canada has damage?
What does it mean by the phrase he wants the same Pp expiry date. The passport officer is not his father in law , is he? When a new passport is issued a new number snd a new export date is given. Sometimes if only a year is left they may give the original expiry date. The Ondian consular officials bring what they are, tell him he will be lucky to get any passport at all
