Untick items your employer covers — ticket, visa and insurance are employer-dependent: some verified employers provide them, some don’t. Whatever your specific contract says is the truth; get it in writing before you pay anything. Indicative INR ranges (Nov 2026) for planning only — confirm current official fees at passportindia.gov.in and your medical centre. The agency row shows the Government of India legal cap, not a recommended amount.
