Just remember few things before you prepare your self to pay the F1 Student visa Fees.

1. Reach the Bank before 3:30 PM in the weekdays and before 12:30 PM in the Weekends on Saturdays.
2. Carry you own passport with the copy of the front page of your passport. Even though the bank will take the copy of the passport but it would be better to keep the original passport to prove that the copy is real. It will only take 15 Min to fill the form and deposit it.

Now lets go with the fee Instructions

1. F1 Visa application fees (MRV Fee): USA $131 payable in the INDIA INR equivalent at consular exchange rate.
2. F1 Visa application fees is Rs 6550 and the Service Charge is Rs 374 which includes VFS’ service charge Rs 359/- & Bank service charge Rs15/- (inclusive of Service Tax @ 10% and Education Tax @0.30%)

Lets move with the experience, as you enter in the bank you will have to ask the bank receptionist where the visa fees is been deposited as the counter is not same as the other deposit counter in the bank. The visa fee counter is different and is generally run with the foreign exchange counter. Once you are at the correct place ask for the visa deposit slip. The slip contains three color slip : White, Pink and Blue. Please do not detach the slip and fill the visa slip as given i.e the white form at the top. Now the form will contain fields such as :

USA MRV VISA FEE DEPOSIT SLIP

Once you submit the form you will see that you will be returned two forms one pink and the other blue and the bank will take their copy the white one. You will also see that your form will now have a bar code that is important and that bar code will be activated in 2 business days.
