Renewing an Indian passport from the UK has several components. The consular fee depends on the booklet you choose — about £56 for a 36-page 10-year booklet or £74 for a 60-page jumbo booklet for frequent travellers. A small consular surcharge of £2 is added per application. The VFS Global service charge of around £7.44 is paid at the VFS centre. Optional secure courier (~£15) returns your documents by tracked post.
If your passport was lost, stolen or damaged, the re-issue fee of about £110 replaces the normal booklet fee. Tatkal adds roughly £107 for urgent processing, subject to HCI approval.
Timelines vary with HCI processing and police verification:
Processing can be longer if police clearance is required or if there is a change in your personal details. NriDirect checks your forms and documents before submission to reduce the risk of rejection and delay.

A standard 36-page 10-year booklet costs around £56 in consular fee, plus a £2 consular surcharge and the VFS Global service charge of about £7.44 — roughly £65 per applicant before optional courier. A 60-page jumbo booklet is around £74. Fees float with the INR exchange rate, so confirm the live amount on the VFS UK fee page.
Tatkal adds a premium of about £107 on top of the normal booklet fee. It is intended for genuinely urgent cases and is subject to High Commission of India approval. Normal processing takes roughly 4–5 weeks; Tatkal can be issued in about 3–10 working days once approved.
A lost, stolen or damaged passport requires a re-issue with a higher fee of around £110, which replaces the normal booklet fee rather than adding to it. You will usually also need a police loss report. The VFS charge and optional courier still apply on top.
