Re: India passport re-issue Tatkaal

This is appointment is not with UKVI, its with Indian Consulate through VFS .. if you have opted for tatkal on original application that is fine ... an application is tatkal or not based on the payment you make ... payment would be taken on the day so you are sorted.
