The 60-second version
Returning with Indian passport needs address reissue at Passport Seva Kendra — police verification at new Indian address, fee payment, and propagation to Aadhaar, PAN, and bank within 90 days.
Reissue for address change — not a simple sticker update
Indian passport address change requires reissue application on Passport Seva — old booklet surrendered, new booklet with updated address issued.
Police verification at new Indian address is mandatory — schedule before travel if passport needed urgently.
After reissue, propagate to Aadhaar, PAN, bank, mutual fund, and demat within 90 days to avoid KYC mismatch freeze.
