What is the procedure to apply for duplicate passport in case of lost or damaged passport?
Duplicate passports are not issued however; a new passport with different passport number may be issued with fresh validity. The applicant has to apply in re-issue category with reason as Lost/Damaged passport.
Assuming you have an Ordinary Passport, its validity would therefore be the standard 10 years.

I had applied for a re-issue of damaged Indian passport before. The validity will be 10 years from the date of reissue for adults and 5 years for children.
