Photograph
The 3.5 cm × 4.5 cm 'Indian passport-size photograph' is a standard format reused by hundreds of Indian government and private application forms — Tatkaal passport applications, RTO, school admissions, employer onboarding, and most exam application centres. For the online Passport Seva portal itself, photographs are usually captured at the Passport Seva Kendra (PSK) and not uploaded online, but the printed-photo standard remains the same.
