Massachusetts is the home state of the Boston consulate, opened recently enough that the New York consulate's website still claims it. Chelsea is 4 miles from High Street, Springfield 90.
Which Indian consulate covers Massachusetts?
Massachusetts is claimed by two consulates at once. We give Consulate General of India, Boston, which is what the national jurisdiction table says, but ídem. Neither office has withdrawn its claim, so if the file matters, call the one you plan to use before you travel.

What you can settle without going
- You can get a PAN card from the Indian tax department, which no consulate issues.
- You can pay the government fee online where the portal allows it.
- You can apply for an e-Visa on the official portal, with no appointment and no office visit.
The portals have taken over more of this than the drive suggests.
