FIR for damaged Indian passport?

score:4

No, You don't need to file an FIR in case of damaged passport. You will just have to apply for the new passport(reissue) and attach your old passport with the application.

The Indian Government website clearly states:

In case your passport has not been damaged beyond recognition, i.e. passport number is legible, name is legible and photo is intact, then you can apply for re-issue of passport under the Tatkaal scheme. But, if passport has been damaged beyond recognition, then you cannot apply under the Tatkaal scheme. In that case, you need to visit Passport Officer at your nearest Passport Seva Kendra to get the passport on urgent basis.

The FIR is only required for the lost passports.

Loss of passport should be immediately reported to the nearest Police Station and to the Passport Office (PO) or Indian Mission, if abroad.
