Hi Everyone.

I have just come to London on a 18 month work permit.

After getting down I realised that the 2nd page of my passport was missing. This page had the ECNR stamp.

I have to go to India for a week on 30th of May.

I have 2 questions

1. What are the repurcussions. Will they hold me in India.

2. What is the legal procedure I should take to avoid all this and inform the authorities.
Hope someone can answer my questions.

Thanks

Mohit
 
Hi Mohit,
I guess you are not the only one to have this experience. Normally people don’t tell this out straight, I too dint tell it to the concerned officials. But applied for Issue of new passport citing that my present passport is damaged, a colleagues Kid may have damaged it. But In my case the Customs/Immigration officials at Chennai did it.
Technically speaking you are in deep-shit, As it is considered as will fully damaging the Passport or willfully hiding some information related to your passport. Your passport can be impounded, When you come back to India the Custom officials look for it, and if found you may be in trouble, In my case they did not observe it.
If you are in India, apply for issue of new passport (I guess Form-3), you also need to get an Affidavit done from Magistrate.
Best of Luck
