I appreciate your efforts to put up in so much details all the requirements of obtaining a passport ( a mammoth task in India)for the benefit of confused and then frustrated seekers of passport (you literally feel like you have won a gold medal in olympics once your passport comes in your hands..yes, you truly have to put in the same amount of effort, dedication, pain, perspiration, and much more to reach the stage of acquiring a passport in India).
Can I request you to also put up guidelines for renewing the passport (incl. expired) or I guess it amounts to acquiring a new one.

This is the link you need to read carefully for your query

Some useful notes : 1: When overseas, try to get renew passport or get additional booklet without changing address in the previous passport. Even dont tell the bugger that you have changed the address in India. Because it is long process if change of address in passport is to be done in overseas.
