What is India’s new e-passport, and how will it benefit international travellers?

India’s newly launched e-passport integrates a traditional passport booklet with an embedded RFID chip and biometric data to enhance identity verification and security. Rolled out under the Passport Seva Programme 2.0, it uses PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) technology to prevent forgery and enables faster immigration through e-gates. The application process remains unchanged from that of regular passports. Travellers benefit from quicker border checks and global authentication compliance. What are your thoughts—would you feel more secure using a digital passport over a traditional one?
