The new system would offer "speedy and efficient" service to the
growing volume of US residents traveling to India, Indian Ambassador
Ronen Sen said on Monday.
"Rapid transformation of India-US relations in recent years has been
manifested in an unprecedented growth of business travelers,
tourists and other US residents to India and the introduction of
several non-stop and additional travel services between the two
countries.
"With burgeoning cooperation in the economic, commercial,
technological, educational, cultural and other fields and with
increasing close bonds of the Indian American community with the
country of origin, the demands for visa and other consular services
continues to grow." he said.
The outsourcing firm will charge a service fee of $13 per visa
application and offer same day collection at its visa application
centres and next day service for applications received by post. It
would also run a 24/7 call centre manned by bilingual staff.
The consular wings of the missions will continue to offer services
after office hours or on holidays for emergency travel on extreme
compassionate grounds 365 days a year, the announcement said.
