Watch out for
Apply only on the official government portal, as the Government of India does not authorise agents or intermediaries to charge fees for emergency or express visas, eVisas or the eArrival card. [1]
Completing the eArrival Card is not a substitute for a visa; it only provides arrival information. [5]
The eVisa is issued for limited categories, so if your purpose of travel is not covered you need a regular or paper visa from an Indian Mission or Post. [2]
