    Your application for a Passport may be refused on the following grounds:

    • You are not a citizen of India,
    • You may, or are likely to, negatively impact the sovereignty or integrity of India, outside the country, or your presence outside India may be detrimental to friendly relations between India and other countries, or your departure from India may, or is likely to, be detrimental to the security of India, 
    • You have been convicted of an offence and have been sentenced to imprisonment of at least 2 years, within 5 years of making this application, 
    • You have committed an offence and criminal proceedings are pending before a Court,
    • A Court has issued a warrant or summons for the appearance, or a warrant for the arrest, with respect to you under any law, 
    • A Court has passed an order prohibiting your departure from India. 
    • You have been repatriated and have not reimbursed the expenditure incurred, 
    • Issuing you a Passport will not be in public interest, in the opinion of the Central Government of India.
