Here's my experience with the E-visa process based in NY. The website states that the fee is $60, but it is $60, when I went to pay, the price jumped to the equivalent of $127. Within 5 minutes of payment, I received a call from the NYC India Embassy and they informed me that I needed to pay the expedited fee of an additional $177 even though I will be arriving in India in 5 days. I was told the E-visa process takes 7-10 business days even though the website says 4 days (not business days, just 4 days). Since I assume these are the same people that will be processing my application, they can simply delay my processing if I don't pay the fee, so I sucked it up and paid it. So overall, I paid over $300 for a single entry visa and I'm only going to be in India for about 30 hours. Everyone should apply in advance because a single entry will only cost about $60 and multiple entry 10 years is $150.
