&lt;em&gt;In its report submitted to the MEA, the panel has said that in keeping with global practices, the ministry must consider doing away with these details.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;IN VIEW of complaints, especially from women, of procedural harassment in passport offices, an inter-ministerial panel has recommended that the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) should do away with the practice of printing details of a person&amp;rsquo;s father, mother or spouse in the passport booklet. In its report submitted to the MEA, the panel has said that in keeping with global practices, the ministry must consider doing away with these details.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The panel has observed that the information is &amp;ldquo;irrelevant for immigration purposes either in India or abroad&amp;rdquo;. It has also noted that the passport booklets of most countries, especially those of developed nations, do not ask for names of father/ legal guardian, mother, spouse or other details as printed on page 35.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It has said that while these details may be required, the MEA does not need to print the information in the passport booklets, as most of the complaints received from women pertain to this particular page.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The committee, comprising officials from the Ministry of Woman and Child Development (WCD), MEA and Central Passport Organisation, was formed over three months ago to review the Passport Act 1967 and Passport Rules 1980.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;ldquo;The only details required for immigration purposes are those printed on page 2 that pertain to the passport holder&amp;rsquo;s name, sex, nationality, birth and passport details. Women &amp;mdash; single, separated and divorced &amp;mdash; have complained to us that they find it demeaning when asked for irrelevant details that they are often not comfortable revealing,&amp;rdquo; said an official from the Ministry of Women and Child Development.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;em&gt;In its report submitted to the MEA, the panel has said that in keeping with global practices, the ministry must consider doing away with these details.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;IN VIEW of complaints, especially from women, of procedural harassment in passport offices, an inter-ministerial panel has recommended that the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) should do away with the practice of printing details of a person&amp;rsquo;s father, mother or spouse in the passport booklet. In its report submitted to the MEA, the panel has said that in keeping with global practices, the ministry must consider doing away with these details.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The panel has observed that the information is &amp;ldquo;irrelevant for immigration purposes either in India or abroad&amp;rdquo;. It has also noted that the passport booklets of most countries, especially those of developed nations, do not ask for names of father/ legal guardian, mother, spouse or other details as printed on page 35.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It has said that while these details may be required, the MEA does not need to print the information in the passport booklets, as most of the complaints received from women pertain to this particular page.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The committee, comprising officials from the Ministry of Woman and Child Development (WCD), MEA and Central Passport Organisation, was formed over three months ago to review the Passport Act 1967 and Passport Rules 1980.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;ldquo;The only details required for immigration purposes are those printed on page 2 that pertain to the passport holder&amp;rsquo;s name, sex, nationality, birth and passport details. Women &amp;mdash; single, separated and divorced &amp;mdash; have complained to us that they find it demeaning when asked for irrelevant details that they are often not comfortable revealing,&amp;rdquo; said an official from the Ministry of Women and Child Development.&lt;br /&gt;

<br />
New Delhi: </em>IN VIEW of complaints, especially from women, of procedural harassment in passport offices, an inter-ministerial panel has recommended that the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) should do away with the practice of printing details of a person&rsquo;s father, mother or spouse in the passport booklet. In its report submitted to the MEA, the panel has said that in keeping with global practices, the ministry must consider doing away with these details.<br />
<br />
The panel has observed that the information is &ldquo;irrelevant for immigration purposes either in India or abroad&rdquo;. It has also noted that the passport booklets of most countries, especially those of developed nations, do not ask for names of father/ legal guardian, mother, spouse or other details as printed on page 35.<br />
<br />
It has said that while these details may be required, the MEA does not need to print the information in the passport booklets, as most of the complaints received from women pertain to this particular page.<br />
<br />
The committee, comprising officials from the Ministry of Woman and Child Development (WCD), MEA and Central Passport Organisation, was formed over three months ago to review the Passport Act 1967 and Passport Rules 1980.<br />

Passports don't need details of spouse or father: Panel to MEA -Shalini Nair

-The Indian Express In its report submitted to the MEA, the panel has said that in keeping with global practices, the ministry must consider doing away with these details. New Delhi: IN VIEW of complaints, especially from women, of procedural harassment in passport offices, an inter-ministerial panel has recommended that the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) should do away with the practice of printing details of a person’s father, mother or spouse in the passport booklet. In its report submitted to the MEA, the panel has said that in keeping with global practices, the ministry must consider doing away with these details. The panel has observed that the information is “irrelevant for immigration purposes either in India or abroad”. It has also noted that the passport booklets of most countries, especially those of developed nations, do not ask for names of father/ legal guardian, mother, spouse or other details as printed on page 35. It has said that while these details may be required, the MEA does not need to print the information in the passport booklets, as most of the complaints received from women pertain to this particular page. The committee, comprising officials from the Ministry of Woman and Child Development (WCD), MEA and Central Passport Organisation, was formed over three months ago to review the Passport Act 1967 and Passport Rules 1980.   “The only details required for immigration purposes are those printed on page 2 that pertain to the passport holder’s name, sex, nationality, birth and passport details. Women — single, separated and divorced — have complained to us that they find it demeaning when asked for irrelevant details that they are often not comfortable revealing,” said an official from the Ministry of Women and Child Development.   Please click here to access.
