Indian Passport Renewal Question

Hi, My passport is expiring in March 2025. I have submitted application for Indian Passport Renewal and also paid VFS fees on Aug 5th, 2024 but I didn’t send the documents for further processing.

Questions-

  1. Will there be any impact for pending H1B extension if I send the current passport for renewal?
  2. Is it still the VFS fees and Passport Renewal Application are valid to send the application for processing. I’m able to download the courier label from VFS account with date as Aug 6th, 2024 but not sure whether it will be valid or not. If not, could you please help me to whom I should reach out about the pending passport renewal application. I’m worried to submit new application with existing file pending.

Thanks!
