NEFT stands for the National Electronic Funds Transfer system. It is the electronic funds transfer facility provided by most of the banks in India. You can make the payment by transferring the money directly from your bank account into the U.S. government account. Exact procedures for actually doing the funds transfer vary based on each bank. Various banks allow either online banking and/or mobile banking facilities. Using this option, you don’t have to visit the bank branch to make your USA visa fee payment. Most banks charge some additional fee for this convenience of NEFT for each transaction.
Overseas electronic funds transfers are not accepted (even if you have a Bank of America account in the U.S.). You can only make this payment if you maintain a Rupee bank account in India.
