If you are applying for a passport renewal (tatkal) from Ranchi, the checklist almost certainly asks for a flight reservation or return ticket. A dummy ticket — a genuine airline booking held without payment — is exactly that document, and it costs a fraction of a real fare.
What the visa officer is actually checking
Visa officers process hundreds of files a day and look for consistency: the dates on your reservation, hotel booking, insurance and application form should match. A dummy ticket lets you fix those dates cheaply — enter them carefully, because the reservation is issued exactly as ordered.

What to avoid
- Forgetting the return leg. For a passport renewal (tatkal), a one-way itinerary invites questions about intent to return. Use a round trip unless you have onward plans to show.
- Mismatched dates. Flight, hotel and insurance dates must agree with the application form. Fix the dates first, then order.
- Skipping the hotel. Several posts want accommodation proof alongside the flight. A dummy hotel booking can be added on the same order.
- Booking weeks in advance. Airline holds expire. Book 1–3 days before the appointment so the PNR is live when checked.
Frequently asked
Is this legal?
Yes. Airlines create holds without payment as a normal part of booking; embassies specifically ask for reservations. What is illegal is a forged document — which a real reservation is not.
How long does the reservation stay valid?
Long enough to cover a normal review window. Book 1–3 days before your appointment so the PNR is live when checked.
Is a dummy ticket accepted for a passport renewal (tatkal) application from Ranchi?
Yes. The Passport Seva Kendra under the Tatkal scheme asks for a flight reservation or itinerary, not a paid ticket. A dummy ticket with a live PNR is precisely that document and is used by applicants from Ranchi every day.

Usually within 10 minutes of payment, by email, any day of the week. Between 11pm and 6am IST it can take up to 2 hours.
