1. Ordinary Passports
Ordinary passports, as the name implies, are the passport of the common man. The immigration and customs personnel can tell the difference between the average person and high-ranking Indian government officials thanks to the blue colour of their passports.
2. Diplomatic or Official Passport
Senior Indian government officials and diplomats are given the Diplomatic or Official passports. Those who hold diplomatic passports can complete immigration procedures quickly and easily compared to those who do not.
