You can also produce a dummy ticket, or flight itinerary, which you can reserve without paying the full cost of the ticket, if you would like to apply for a visa while you are still in the planning stages of your trip—that is, without first purchasing a dummy ticket. You can buy the actual ticket once you have your visa. We charge a little cost of INR 350/$5 for a dummy ticket to India. Right now, you can obtain a dummy India visa ticket at https://www.onlinedummyticket.com.
