An important information stated on VFS Global(Germany) website tells that the Indian passports that have Passport number "perforated" on all pages of the passport will NOT be accepted for German VISA application processing. It also states that, effective from 19-February-2018 Indian passports with perforated/punched-through on all the pages(first to last page) will not be accepted for German visa processing at the German VISA application centre in Bangalore, Cochin, and Trivandrum. 

Which passport will be accepted?

The website also shows us this image(illustration) of a passport, which would be accepted at this time. 

passport, german visa



What should you do if you have a perforated passport?

The same link tells us that, for further clarification please do contact the local Government of India Passport office.
