From official-portal extracts (captured ):

- •The Government of India does not authorise any agent or intermediary to charge fees for emergency visas, express visas, eVisas or the eArrival card, so no extra service fee is officially required. [1]

Watch out for
Visa on arrival is available only to nationals of Japan, South Korea and certain UAE nationals, so Montenegrin travellers must obtain a visa or eVisa before travelling. [2]
Only the official government portals issue visas and eArrival cards; paying an agent or intermediary for emergency or express eVisa services is not authorised by the Government of India. [1]
An ETA approval is required before you fly and must be shown at immigration, so keep a printed or digital copy with your travel documents.
