India to launch e-Passports in 2025: Key features and benefits

India is introducing new e-passports that are like regular passports but with a special chip.

This chip holds your personal info like your name, birth date, and even a picture of your face.

It also stores your fingerprints, like a digital key.

These e-passports are safer because they have digital security and are harder to copy.

They also help speed up going through customs at airports.

The government is working on these new passports and will start rolling them out in 2025.

These e-passports will be available through the Passport Seva Programme.
