Re-issue of passport after deportation

If the column about deportation exists,then U have to certainly mention it or else U will land up in problems in future.

Thank you for your response.

What are the consequences of telling the truth? Can I be denied a passport? Would there be any mention of prior deportation on my passport?

Appreciate the response

Sir,

Passport is an authenticated document to prove once citizenship and status.It is a document issued by the government of india.Obtaining passport by fraudulency will invite criminal liabilty which will culminate to imprisonment.It is most essential to reveal to the passport authorities about all the facts pertaining to your capability to obtain a passport which includes even pendency of criminal cases against you.THerefore you have to reveal the fact of deportaTION ALSO. It doesnot mean that you cannot get a passport , you can obtain it for limited number of periods than for regular durations like 10 or 20 years. 

Thank you both for the response

I intend to file the form accurately, but dont have the complete info w.r.t. deportation. The form is asking for an EC No, date of issuance tc. - none of which I have.

How can I acquire this information?

there are 3 stamps on the passport - 2 at time of leaving in 2002 and one on return in 2012 - the blue on in the attached pic no EC number anywhere

Better consult some official in the RPO,U will get the information.

Suppressing any information which are material to issuance of passport will attract punishment or rejection of the passport application itself.
