I got an Indian visa in Aug, process was fine other than the appointment was for loads of people so still had 45 min wait. Opted for the postal service back to avoid going through the same appointment system and received passports back 4 days later (including a weekend). I didn't have 2 facing pages in my passport blank but they checked to see I had 2 non facing pages and said that was OK. When we actually went to India placement of the stamps was on completely different pages to the visa pages.
