Indian passport surrender fees - How much?

Post by t1seeker » Thu Oct 11, 2012 6:59 pm

Hi guys

I think I may have a problem. I sent the surrender application for my daughter's passport by post with a PO of 113.24 as I saw on VFS website.

In seperate sections / pages of VFS website it says different things ...

1) 113.24 as per http://in.vfsglobal.co.uk/surrender_fees.html

2) On top of that page it says 2 pounds consular fee, but on bottom of the page it says the table includes the consular fee (??)

3) http://in.vfsglobal.co.uk/news.html

Increase in VISA service fees
29 Spetmber 2012: Effective 12 September 2011, the VISA service fees for all regular visa & surrender applications will be increased to £10.20 from £9.24 inclusive of applicable VAT. The

So now I am very confused.

How much is the fee ?

1) 113.24, or
2) 115.24, or
3) 114.20, or
4) 116.20

And considering I already sent the application with a PO of 113.24 what can I do now ? Send them another PO for the balance ?

Please help!

SOS!

Thanks. Did you send a postal application or in person ?

So looks like my application will be delayed because I paid 0.96 too less ! The way they present information on their website is abysmal.

I called their "premium rate" call centre this morning and the lady told me the fee was 113.24 !!! So i have my doubts now if she even knew the correct answer.

I guess at some point they will send me an email / txt whatever to tell I need to pay 96 pence more ..

Paid inperson, Probably they give you a call and advise you further.
else send a email to VFS they respond you within a day.
