Individuals must have proper knowledge of fee payment for an Indian visa since they must pay this amount while applying for an Indian visa. The fees they pay with the application form include both the visa service fee and the Indian Government fee. The service fee that you pay is for processing your application. On the other hand, the e-visa government fee is for the Indian Immigration Department.

Thus, as this article observed, there are different fees for an Indian visa. If you are an applicant trying to obtain an Indian visa for work or other purposes, you need to know these different fees ranges. The government can reject your visa application if you fail to submit the applicable fees.
