"For now people could get their passports in just 10 days through an online application"

Who said it?
Minister of External Affairs.
NO.

Then Who?
Ministry Of Home Affairs .
YES.

Over the years the government receives flood of complaints with regard to police verification, delaying the process. 

Hence, so as to make it easy for the applicants, the Ministry of Home Affairs suggested that the Passport will be issued on only Aadhar Identification Number, there will be no Post or Pre Police Verification for Passport.

All you have to do is file an online application. Besides, there is no need to provide with myriads of documents as proof of identity, for your Aadhar Card will suffice. You can fix an appointment as per your convenience within 3 days of applying, in next 7 days you will receive your passport.

Why Aadhar :
Government of India has sought to keep track of the criminal background of applicants through Aadhar Card. So if you are applying for passport and do not have the Aadhar card, get it made as soon as possible.

Here the QUESTION is :

"Whether the Minister of External Affairs likely to be implemented Ministry Of Home Affairs proposal by considering to make submission of Aadhaar Cards mandatory for making passports and by discontinuing police verification."

Question asked by MP SHRI P.P. CHAUDHARY, in the Lok Sabha on dated 10.12.2014.

THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF EXTERNAL AFFAIRS GEN. (DR) V. K. SINGH (RETD), answered : 

 "There is no proposal to discontinue police verification for issuing of passports by making submission of Aadhar Cards mandatory " 

Some papers shall distributed the news as they are said, but there are many thing that had to be taken in consideration before any decision is made by the authorities, there is a difference between proposal and decision.

I personally request friends and all, if you read or see any such news anywhere, always referred to it's web portal to confirm it.

All the decisions and advisory are regularly updated on the Passport Portal for all Citizen by the authorities.
