@ Jacksparrow:
Yes they will send you the old passport after stamping void on first 2 pages. if you still have valid visa in the old passport it does not matter. the visa is still valid and you can travell as long as you carry both the passport. In the new passport you will have the old passport number which is good reference.
Once the visa in the old passport has expired then you do not need to carry while travelling unless you want to. But for visa interview or in port of entry you might want to show them your old PP just in case.
What I know is: everyone should have MRP by the mid of 2014, so it's better to do it now rather than wait at the last moment and believe me, it will be rush at that time.
Good Luck.
