Be Correction of your passport
What you should do, if any wrong information printed in your passport, just consult any passport office, and get it correction soon, there is no any fees for that. If someone will ask money from you, just consult the senior officer immediately and make FIR at your nearest Police Station against him against corruption.
Corruption at local police station
It is always seen that, Police officer who verify your passport, used to ask money for verification, but there is not such verification fees, you do not need to pay them up, it is fully black money asked by police officer. Never give black money, if you are giving that money, you will also be called corrupted person. I had a chat with DCP Vigilence Office New Delhi at 011-23210011 and he told me, there is no rule to give any single money to Local Passport Verification Officer.
If you such black money would be demanded by someone for verification
Just consult DCP Special Branch
