If u have used wrong passport / false passport, you fall under the category of criminal offence.

U can be charged for cheating and forgery of passport under the Indian penal code and also under the passport act.

If any person or institute has suffered and monetary loss that u will also have to face civil liability to that extent.

Hope this information might solve your query.
