It is a "Type S" passport (S stands for Service) which grants its holders with special privileges, such as a quicker immigration process.

In India, passports issued by the Indian government usually come in either blue or black colours.

But do you know that the Government of India also issues white passports for some special people.

Having a white passport is a powerful thing in India, offering special benefits to the one who carries it.

This passport is issued to only Indian Government officials who are travelling outside the country for official purposes.

These are usually granted to officials like IAS and IPS officers.

The white passport is considered the most powerful passport in India.

The passports make it easier for immigration officials to identify government officials and treat them accordingly.
