Hi Rekha, please post your questions on PRAMIT. Here is the link: https://www.indiainnewyork.gov.in/Pramit You will get a response from the Consulate within one business day.
Call them and ask. From what I was told, you can carry old passport with you. Please when you find out, update here for everyone and include a date.
Thanks! Your answer is awaiting moderation.
