If you are also going to get a new passport (Passport Seva portal Close) then this news is for you. The passport department portal will remain closed across the country from 8 pm on August 29 to the morning of September 2. If someone has already applied for a passport and got it between August 30 and September 2, then they will have to reschedule for some other date.
