I disagree to SC practicing Lawyer @ Anish bald reply!
Reason for disagreement is that competent Court has nothing to do at this stage as provision of Penalty Clause are per Passport Act is very clear on raised query subject. Pay the penalty first and get the correct entries done at the time of renewal is as simple the Rules is all about for literate applicants.
1. Visitors from India on B1 /B2 visa who are not normally resident in USA are advised to hold passports which are valid for the period of their visit. In such cases, where it becomes necessary due to unavoidable reasons, passport would be reissued after clearance from the original Passport Issuing Authority.
2. Passport renewal service is not available for B1/B2 visa holders and temporary visitors to USA. It has to be done in India at RPO jurisdiction PSK.
3. Effective April 16, 2012, Indian Passport services (Renewal, extension etc) is now handled by VFS Global. Individuals Indian consulate will no longer accepting passport related services directly. All applications and communication related to Indian passport renewal must be through VFSGlobal.
4. Your relative may certainly use the B1/B2 for a visit to her relatives , for tourism, or for business purposes as long as long as the visa is valid.
It seems your aunt did not submit "Annexure B" and only submitted "Annexure I" earlier?
Well she needs to met the penalty this time [as per S. 12 (1) B of Passport Act it is only Rs. 2500/- as she being literate applicant] and most probably she may not be able to use her (if still valid) B1/B2 too as Passports issued by PSK are now-a-days intra linked to US data servers as part of US / India bilateral ties on Internal Securities Arrangements ! (double check on B1/B2 validity if renewed with penalty payment from VFSglobal now) J
