How long does it take to get a passport if I apply now?

A normal Indian passport typically takes about 30 working days from your appointment at the Passport Seva Kendra, plus around 14 days or more for police verification, depending on your local station.

With the Tatkaal (expedited) service, you can usually receive your passport within 1 to 3 working days after approval, with police verification done later.

Overall, expect about 4 to 6 weeks for a normal application, or about a week or less with Tatkaal, depending on your location and verification speed.
