yes you can get the passport on the same day at interview. after the interview you can talk to them and ask to pick it up

and usually they do allow

you would have go to vfs centre (which is very close to embassy) in the evening around 4:30 pm or something and get it.

Does this apply to Chennai consulate too? I have interview on 6th March and I want to book my flight on 14th March. I read in the consulate reviews that VFS takes 1 week for delivery of the passport. Can I approach VFS in Chennai (which one is nearest to consulate??) and collect my passport + sealed cover?

Thanks
