Applying for DTV via India.

1. I have heard some in person interviews are needed. Is it mandatory for everyone or is it case by case basis? For context I live in Bangalore and will apply via chennai embassy where I'll upload docs digitally and send DD vis an agent

2. Is DD the only way of payment? I have heard some cases where they transferred to the embassy's bank directly and sent the transaction receipt as proof and it worked. Is that true?

3. Is the bank statement needed for 3 months or 6months? I have seen both cases which is mandatory? And the amount needed is 10lac INR or 500K TBH? Isaw a document mentioning 10lac INR works

I'd really appreciate any insights, thanks!
Answer summary
When applying for a DTV visa from India, attending an in-person interview is mandatory if requested by the embassy, but not all applicants may be interviewed. Payment methods vary by embassy; while a demand draft (DD) is common, some embassies may accept direct bank transfers as proof of payment. The required bank statement duration can differ based on the embassy's requirements, with some requesting 3 months and others 6 months. Clarification on the necessary bank balance also varies, with some sources indicating that 10 lakh INR is acceptable.

It is mandatory to attend an interview if asked to. Some embassies interview each applicant others on a ad hoc basis.

You need to check the payment system of the embassy you apply from, there is not one single form of payment. The number of bank statements required also depends on the embassy you apply from. You should check the embassy site you are applying from for the actual amount you need.
