What matters

• Renewal is usually handled as a re-issue application, not a completely separate “renewal” category.

• Your final cost can change if you pick Tatkaal, a different booklet size, or fall under a different applicant category.

• Some articles mention discounts or special cases, but standard re-issue rates are the safest estimate to use.

TL;DR: In India, passport renewal for an adult typically costs ₹1,500 in normal processing or ₹3,500 in Tatkaal for a 36-page booklet.
