Vir Sanghvi after getting his new passport in 24 hours: 'How fortunate we are in India'

Author and anchor Vir Sanghvi has shared an appreciation post for the passport process in the country after he received his document within 24 hours of applying for it.

"We don’t realise how fortunate we are in India to have one of the world’s most efficient passport processes. In few countries will you get a new passport in a couple of days," he wrote on X. "At least in Delhi, the passport offices have actually got more citizen-friendly over the last year."

In a separate post, Sanghvi added, "It took less than 24 hours before mine was delivered home by speed post."

Several X users agreed with the author and shared similar experiences.

"Indeed. I applied for my mother under the Tatkal scheme, and to my surprise, within 24 hours on Saturday (weekend), a police officer came to our house and did all due diligence. The passport was received in less than five working days. There has been a massive positive change in the past few years," wrote Chit Dubey (@ChitDubey).
