    It would be better to get passport reissued before procedures.
  • @Moiz
    Visa on old passport would be valid. You need to carry both passports together.
    While applying for passport reissue, you should give matriculation certificate and B.Com degree copy. Emigration clearance certificate is not needed.
    Bima policy and affidavit is needed in case of emigration clearance from PoE. This is one time clearance for those who cannot get ECNR status on passport (because of time or eligibility issue)

    We don’t have any idea about travel agents in Delhi.
  • @Shafin
    If you fit into any eligibility conditions mentioned on this page: http://www.passportindia.gov.in/AppOnlineProject/onlineHtml/NonEcrDocuments.html you can apply for ECNR while applying for reissue of passport.
    If you are not eligible you should get emigration clearance from PoE office.

    There is no issue in transferring amount to bank from PayPal.
    If you declare this income in ITR, there would not be any issue.

    There is a minimum charge per KVA for electricity connections. If main meter is of 10 KVA capacity and three houses are using it through sub meter, each should pay 1/3rd of minimum charge, even if no electricity is consumed.

    Tax rates for professionals are also same as that of salaried class. They also have deductions like 80C, 80D etc applicable.
    Only difference is professional may deduct all business expenses from income to compute net profit. This net profit part would only be taxable in that case.

    Say, your wife earns 5 lakhs in a year, but has also incurred expenses towards internet bills, telephone bills, server/domain name cost, laptop/hardware purchase etc. Say expense is 1 lakh. Then total taxable income would only be 4 lakhs. Now if she invests 1 lakh into 80C products (like insurance, tax saving mutual fund, tax saving fixed deposits etc), Taxable income would further reduce by 1 lakh and she has to only pay 10% tax on remaining 1 lakh (no tax is payable for first 2 lakhs).

    She would need to file income tax returns after year end by 31st July using ITR4 form. This form is a bit complex and common man cannot understand those financial terminology of profit/loss etc.

    Hello Mr. Pankaj,
    Hope you are fine. My question is that I am working in oil & gas sector in Saudi and want to bring my family here with me as my company will help me to get their residence visa, but my wife is having ECR status in her passport, so is it required to stamp it to ECNR as I am not bringing them on visitor visa but bringing my family to stay permanently with me here.
    Another question is my wife is studied only till 5th standard so if it required to stamp for ECNR on her passport will POE stamp ECNR status on her passport without metriculation certificate.
    Please help me to solve my query and thanks in advance.

      You can only fill application forms online (http://passportindia.gov.in/). Somebody will have to take appointment and visit passport office to get passport renewed.

Due to act of the passport office i paid earlier also tathkal fee, passport office didn’t sent enquiry.

  9. Nikhat says

    Hi,
    I am holding a professional degree (Chartered Accountant) and have got an ECR stamp on my passport. The problem is that Date of birth on my 10th CBSE certificate does not match with the same on passport. I am going on an employment visa to Dubai to work with deloitte.The profession mentioned on visa is ‘Auditor’. Is there any alternative procedure to remove ECR stamp without submitting 10th certificate??
