Indian Passport

I paid 5 dollars additional to get text messages from CKGS, San Francisco as part of my passport renewal process? Has anyone selected this text service and received a message? If yes, when do they text you? At every step or when the re-issued passport is ready to be sent back?

I am trying to renew my passport at the New York location. While filing the application form on CKGS site, I do not see the option to select CKGS provided Fedex shipping label.
Is it just me or NY location that has this problem, or other people/locations are also facing same issue?
Appreciate your responses on this.
Thanks.

My Indian passport is expiring in July 2020. I was ready to send it out in March but CKGS and Indian consulate posted advisories not the send as they're closed. Is CKGS San Francisco open now? They aren't picking the phone call or returning the emails. What is the best way to renew as the expiry date is approaching soon.

I'm trying to renew my Indian passport which expires in February. The online application on Indian government's website will not let me proceed without providing an Aaadhar card number. I haven't been to india in 10 years and don't have one. When I tried to apply for an aadhaar number, I was told that I need my PAN number which I also don't have. When I try to apply for PAN number, they insist on me providing on Aadhar number. I haven't been able to figure out (after hours of google search) on how to obtain either while being an NRI in the US. Can someone please help me? I just want to renew my passport and it seems impossible.

Should we print and paste the bar code when using the FedEx CKGS services?
