Hi All,
I am travelling India in next 15 days from Australia. I have 7 months of expiry of my passport. So traveling to India won't be issue.
But I am returning to Australia in the first week of April, and at that time I will have less than 6 months of passport expiry.
I am a permanent resident of Australia.
Will I have an issue in exit from India? and during the entry to Australia?
I am planning to book direct airlines (Quantas or AirIndia), so there is no intermediate country to cause trouble. Getting passport renewal in India would a bit time constraint as I wont be staying at my residence and so verification etc + will have to wait for the new passport and then updating the details to Australia Immi.

Could any guide on best process I should follow?

Thanks
