Passport renewal sandheham

[Undilaemanchikalam]

Booking flight tickets for my parents.

There passports are expiring mid of December 2022.

Travel dates mid March to mid August, travel agent tho matladithae he is saying there should be 6 months validity while return to india antunadu.. I thought 6 months validity while coming to US but this info is new.

1. can I book flight ticket now and ask them to renew the passport? If so, will the tickets be good to travel since the old passport is no longer valid.

2. How much time is it taking to renew passport in Hyderabad?
