Indian U.S. Permanent Resident lost Passport in India, what do I need to replace?

I'm a permanent resident of the U.S. born in India, I am visiting my family in India for vacation. I have lost my passport in a cab. I need to replace my passport to return to the U.S.

I have checked the requirements for passport replacement on the Passport Seva website.

Since I am a resident of the United States, will they make exceptions for proof of address, as I do not have an address in India. I do however have my Bank Of America bank statment with my address. Will this work?

What other documents should I bring? I also do not have my original birth certificate, but I do have a photocopy. Will this suffice? I may also be able to get a copy of my school leaving certificate.

I'm afraid of my application being denied due to insufficient documents.
