India rolls out RFID-enabled e-passports
Millennium Post Delhi
|New Delhi 19November2025
WITH ADVANCED SECURITY FEATURES
The government has successfully rolled out its next-generation electronic passport system, the e-passport, marking a significant advancement in document security and citizen service efficiency. This major upgrade combines both traditional paper documentation with advanced electronic elements, specifically designed to counter forgery, impersonation, and other fraudulent acts.
The introduction of the e-passport is part of a broader systemic overhaul by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) of its flagship Passport Seva Programme (PSP), now designated PSP V2.0, which includes the Global Passport Seva Programme (GPSP V2.0) for citizens residing abroad. The MEA stated this new launch marks “another significant milestone” for the ministry.
At the core of the e-passport is an embedded Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) chip and an antenna.
This mechanism stores and secures the holder's critical information in compliance with International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) standards. Officials confirmed that the passport's critical data is now printed on the data page as well as stored electronically within the chip, making the document substantially harder to forge.
