India Visa Expiration Question

[kala1]

Let's say I have a 6 month tourist visa to India, issued in January 2008 and expires in July 2008.

If I am planning on going to India in April 2008, would I have to exit India before the July 2008 date on the visa? Or do I have 180 days to stay in India once I enter in April?

Thanks.

6 months

It's a six month visa, you can go to India anytime during it's validity but can stay in India for 6 months only.

Take care.

So you're saying that I could stay past the July visa expiration date, if I entered India before that?
