Ration Card Mandatory?
I had applied for a fresh passport for my brother in Mumbai. We're basically from a small town in Maharashtra (and hence the ration card in that town) and moved to Mumbai a few years ago.
He had carried all the documents as per the documents required section (https://portal1.passportindia.gov.in/AppOnlineProject/docAdvisorSecure/attachmentAdvFreshInp). Electric,Gas bill and Adhaar card for address proof, his birth certificate for DOB proof and a matriculation certificate for ECNR proof. Yet, he was told that he needed to carry ration card. He tried to reason with them that that was optional and he had the remaining documents but he was told that they need to see the ration card. He was told that they'd mark him absentee for the day and he can reschedule it after six months. I did not know ration card was a make-or-break document. In case anyone is aware and has gone through this situation, can you please confirm/deny if that's the case or my brother was just plain unlucky?
-Appreciate any response I may get.
