The Assam States Archives holds passport application records. It is possible that other State Archives in India hold similar records.

Some details of passports were sent to the UK from India and these are held in the British Library and form part of the L/P/J series. For example there is a series of duplicate passports under IOR/L/PJ/11. Details can be found by searching the Britsh Library Catalogue. There is also an index volume on the open shelves.
