A Transit Visa is granted for the sole purpose of enabling the visa holder to travel through India to reach his/her ultimate destination. Change of purpose is not allowed.

The visa will ordinarily be valid for a single/double entry and for entry within 15 days of date of issue. The Transit Visa is valid for direct transit only for a maximum period of 3 days. For a stay in India beyond 3 days, an appropriate visa should be obtained.

The Visa duration starts on the day of issuance, and not on the day of entry into India.
