452 Post Office Passport Seva Kendras Operational in 2025, Generate Rs 114.88 Crore in Revenue

As of November 2025, a total of 452 Post Office Passport Seva Kendras (POPSKs) have been operational across India, significantly enhancing the accessibility of passport-related services.

These centers have collectively handled over 29 lakh passport applications, demonstrating their crucial role in streamlining the passport issuance process.

In addition to passport applications, the POPSKs processed approximately 1.54 lakh Police Clearance Certificates (PCCs), which are essential for various legal and employment purposes.

The widespread network of these kendras has contributed to generating revenue of Rs 114.88 crore, reflecting the financial viability and public demand for decentralized passport services.

The integration of passport services within post offices has made it easier for citizens, especially in remote and rural areas, to apply for passports without traveling long distances to regional passport offices.

This initiative aligns with the government’s objective to improve public service delivery through digital and physical infrastructure expansion.

The success of these POPSKs also highlights the potential for further collaboration between government departments to leverage existing networks for citizen services.

Moving forward, the continued expansion and efficiency improvements in these centers are expected to reduce application processing times and enhance user experience.

Overall, the operationalization of 452 POPSKs marks a significant step towards making passport services more accessible, convenient, and efficient for Indian citizens nationwide.
