India Upgrades Passport System, Launches New e-Passports

India's government has made its passport system much better!

They updated the Passport Seva Programme, which helps make passports.

Now, there's a new type of passport called an e-passport.

This new passport is like a normal one but also has a special computer chip.

This chip holds your information securely, just like the paper part of the passport.

The updated system also uses smart technology like AI to help people fill out forms and answer questions.

You can even pay for your passport online more easily now.

This makes getting a passport quicker and safer for everyone in India and for Indians living overseas.
