You almost certainly need to learn a little more patience if you're already fed upafter only waiting a week. :)

Is there a reason why it is so desperate?

Yes ofcourse Iam fed up with waiting
Becoz I have applied it 4 months back and give up my job and booked some exams in uk for my work prior
All works on hold
So need it soon

I'm sure Brit in Paris will be along with more information, but I think you are looking at many MONTHS rather than weeks!four months is not long for a first child British passport. Here in the Philippines 12 MONTHS or more is normal due to checks carried out to ensure submitted documents are genuine.
I'm not sure if India is on the list of "suspect" countries for non genuine documents. Pakistan certainly is. I'm afraid patience is called for.

Nothing to do but wait I'm afraid.

+1 to BiP's comment.

Have you read this thread?

It might help you put waiting times in perspective/allow you to plan the next 12 months or so ...

I know this is not much use now as the OP applied for the child's first British passport.

However, would it be quicker for the OP to get an Indian passport for the child and then go to the British High Commission in India to get a Certificate of Entitlement?
