Passports in India have been issued since after the First World War in 1920. These British Indian Passports were issued under the British Indian Empire and had very limited usage, as they were valid for travel only within the British Empire and to Italy, Germany, Switzerland, France, Sweden, Spain, Norway, Czechoslovakia, Holland and Austria. These British Indian Passports were discontinued after the dominions of India and Pakistan were established in 1947. Today, the Indian Passport holds 84th<\/sup> rank on the Henley Passport Index<\/a> with 59 countries giving visa on arrival to an Indian Passport holder and can travel to any country in the world with a pre issued visa.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWant to travel but don’t have a passport?
