A lesson I have learnt the hard way....Always go to HCI London in person to get the passport reissued/renewed and do keep hold of the dot-matrix printed receipt they give you. You might end up spending money in travelling but it it worth and avoids any hassle later on.
Also, if you are able to spend, then do avail the tatkal (premium) service and get the new passport issued the same day for a cost of an additional £100. If might just offset against the multiple trips you will need to make to the high commission if you avail the normal service.
