I am trying to transfer Indian tourist visa from an old expired passport to new one. I filled out CKG forms and it directed to me Indian consulate site. While filling out Indian visa form, I did not find any place where I can specify that I want to transfer existing 10 years multiple entry to my new US passport.

I talked to CKG staff from Mumbai India and he indicated that he will bring this problem to Indian consulate attention. This morning I received a e-mail from CKG staff with unlcear reply. I am quoting the text here Jessica Shaw (Passports and Visas.com)

Hello!
The Indian consulate does not allow any transferring of visas if it is removed from your passport it will void it. So you will have to travel with both passports when you travel to India or if you really want on in your new passport you will have to pay and apply for a brand new visa again.
Best regards,

I have never removed nor ever applied for removal of visa from old passport. How can they tell me that visa from old passport has removed without ever looking my old passport.

I thought Mr. Modi made getting Indian visa very smooth and seamless. But it looks to me that I was wrong. I took me eight months to get 10 years visa. The consulate staff was asking to me produce birth certificate issued by Indian state government. I was born in 1941 and that time there was no state government. India was under British control no birth certificate were issued.They will not accept school leaving certificate from India in lieu of original birth certificate. I feel like writing to Ms. Sushma Swaraj, the Indian foreign minister.

Either the CKG or Indian consulate sites or both corrupt. At one place it is asking me for my profession then name of present employer and his address. How do I specify this when I am retired for last 7 years. These information are mandatory.

Why is it so hard for Indian born citizen to get service from Indian government?
