folks, i found this article in this forum itself and i have checked my passport and it does clearly say the following (thought i would share it with you all):
If you have Indian Passport please check the CAUTION (the last page of the passport):
PASSPORT SHOULD NOT BE SENT OUT OF ANY COUNTRY BY POST. IT SHOULD BE IN THE CUSDODY OF EITHER OF THE HOLDER OR OF A PERSON AUTHORISED BY THE HOLDER.
so i guess one can send the passport outside india through an authorized representative as long as they have proof that you have authorized them. now, the question is what kind of proof of authorization do they look for? just a letter from the passport holder to the person carrying the passport or does it have to signed by notarized public on a stamp paper or something of that sort. can anyone through some light on this authorization mode?
