If you miss tatkal passport appointment and visit the passport seva kendra on your booked date here&#8217;s what happens:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1. You lose your appointment slot: If you don\u2019t go to PSK at the given time, your booking is marked as a \u201cNo Show.\u201d When that happens, the system may delete your application data, and your application reference number. That means your current application becomes invalid, and you will have to apply again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2. No Refund for Missed Appointment: The passport fee you paid and the Tatkal charges both are non-refundable. So if you miss the appointment, you will lose the fee too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3. You can reschedule only once: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>For tatkal applications, you can reschedule only one time after your first booking.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In case you miss first appointment, you can use your one chance to book a new slot.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you miss your rescheduled appointment, you cannot change it again.<br>You will need to fill a new application form, pay the full Tatkal fee again, and book a new date.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Tip: If you know you can\u2019t go, reschedule at least 15 hours before your slot.  Avoid skipping the appointment without rescheduling, it can waste both your time and money<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"128\" height=\"128\" src=\"https:\/\/itzeazy.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Also-Read-128-x-128-px.png\" alt=\"also read\" class=\"wp-image-2599\" srcset=\"https:\/\/itzeazy.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Also-Read-128-x-128-px.png 128w, https:\/\/itzeazy.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Also-Read-128-x-128-px-88x88.png 88w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 128px) 100vw, 128px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/itzeazy.in\/blog\/2021\/01\/25\/passport-name-change\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Passport Name Change<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/itzeazy.in\/blog\/2021\/04\/20\/tatkal-passport-application-to-a-normal-passport\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Can We Convert Tatkal Passport&nbsp;to a Normal Passport?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/itzeazy.in\/blog\/2022\/02\/10\/how-to-change-address-in-passport-application-form-after-submission\/\" target=\"_blank\">How to change address in passport application form after submission<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQs\"><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 24px;\">FAQs<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\t\t<section\t\thelp class=\"sc_fs_faq sc_card    \"\n\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t<h4>How long will it take to get a Tatkaal Passport?<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"sc_fs_faq__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\n<p>After successful application form submission, you can get your passport in 3 days under tatkaal scheme.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section\t\thelp class=\"sc_fs_faq sc_card    \"\n\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t<h4> Is there any fee to reschedule a Tatkal passport appointment?<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"sc_fs_faq__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\n<p>No, there is no fees for rescheduling a Tatkal passport appointment, provided you are within the allowed limit.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section\t\thelp class=\"sc_fs_faq sc_card    \"\n\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t<h4>Can I choose a different Passport Seva Kendra while rescheduling?<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"sc_fs_faq__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\n<p>Yes, you may change the PSK while rescheduling, as per availability of slots.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n\t{\n\t\t\"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n\t\t\"@type\": \"FAQPage\",\n\t\t\"mainEntity\": [\n\t\t\t\t\t{\n\t\t\t\t\"@type\": \"Question\",\n\t\t\t\t\"name\": \"How long will it take to get a Tatkaal Passport?\",\n\t\t\t\t\"acceptedAnswer\": {\n\t\t\t\t\t\"@type\": \"Answer\",\n\t\t\t\t\t\"text\": \"<p>After successful application form submission, you can get your passport in 3 days under tatkaal scheme.<\/p>\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t,\t\t\t\t{\n\t\t\t\t\"@type\": \"Question\",\n\t\t\t\t\"name\": \" Is there any fee to reschedule a Tatkal passport appointment?\",\n\t\t\t\t\"acceptedAnswer\": {\n\t\t\t\t\t\"@type\": \"Answer\",\n\t\t\t\t\t\"text\": \"<p>No, there is no fees for rescheduling a Tatkal passport appointment, provided you are within the allowed limit.<\/p>\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t,\t\t\t\t{\n\t\t\t\t\"@type\": \"Question\",\n\t\t\t\t\"name\": \"Can I choose a different Passport Seva Kendra while rescheduling?\",\n\t\t\t\t\"acceptedAnswer\": {\n\t\t\t\t\t\"@type\": \"Answer\",\n\t\t\t\t\t\"text\": \"<p>Yes, you may change the PSK while rescheduling, as per availability of slots.<\/p>\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\t\t\t]\n\t}\n<\/script>\n\n\n\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/itzeazy.in\/blog\/2017\/11\/26\/passport-tracking\/\" target=\"_blank\">&nbsp;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you applied for a Tatkal passport but cannot attend your appointment at the Passport Seva Kendra on the scheduled date?
