Palghar District Notification

Here is another stupid "sarkari" issue which one of the friend faced at Indian Embassy in US when he applied for his passport renewal.His old passport has Vasai address which was in Thane district and since 1st August 2014 ,a new district "Palghar " was carved out from Thane and Vasai was included in this new district.

Now for new passport when he gave the district name as "Palghar",the Embassy rejected his application saying that all his address proofs have district noted as "Thane" .So they can't give passport with "Palghar " as district !

Is it our fault if government creates new district and doesn't notify Ministry Of External Affairs ?So now I emailed him the original Maharashtra State Gazette Notification which created Palghar District.

I am posting images here for everyone's benefit. If anyone is facing similar issue for any government service which needs your address updation with new district name please use attached notification .

Hey Chinmay, thanks for the useful information. I have a question. Do we actually need to include district in the address given that Vasai-Virar is a city now?I have been avoiding to add district to my address ever since VVMC came into existence. So City-Vasai State-Maharashtra and district-blank. Haven't faced any issues so far with this in the last 3-4 years or so.

Hi Chinmay, thank you for creating this blog post.

I am currently living in USA and i am in the process of renewing my passport. My current passport has Thane as the district. Should i keep the same or should i mention the new Palghar district as I live in boisar and my district is palghar.

The Crazy Airline Pilot

Hi The great Sarkari Indian Airlines (Now Air India) has done it again!They took passengers ransom for their own mistakes and tantrums yesterday on IC 164 from Goa to Mumbai. I was the one who praised Indian Airlines when they did a fantastic job during the employee strike recently in June earlier this year.(Please refer to my Articles published in DNA newspaper on 15th June 2007 titled "Hats off to Indian Spirits" and in Hindustan Times the same day titled "Indian did a good job" ) However sunday's episode raises serious doubts on Indian Airlines' ability to perform as "customer caring /serving entity". It was a lazy Sunday afternoon (11th November 2007) in Goa and most of the Travellers were returning to their home destinations after spending a diwali holiday (being a long weekend) in Goa.Everyone had to join their offices/business the next day and hence preferred afternoon flights to go back which gives a relaxing evening at home before anothe...

No attestation and stamp paper needed for any government service or affidavit respectively in Maharashtra

Central government passed this order in Sep 2014 and now Maharashtra Government followed... Maharashtra Government in a GR Dated 09th March 2015 categorically issued orders to all state government authorities and departments that here onwards no office will ask for attestation by SEO/Gazetted officers /school or college principal on any photocopy of any document. A simple self certification from applicant is sufficient .You can sign the photocopy and that's about it Also no affidavit here onwards will be needed to be done on a stamp paper ( though this order was in place since 2003,it was not practiced and people were still paying for stamp papers )except those cases where a law categorically needs a stamped affidavit .This is very important as many government officers used to insist at their will for an affidavit on stamp paper even if standard operating procedure of the law governing that citizen service didn't specifically mention any need for such a...
