How to book an appointment at the Indian consulate in Boston
Consulate General of India, Boston keeps the notarial work, the certificates and the emergencies. The rest goes through VFS.
For anything VFS handles you book on the VFS portal, not on a consulate page. The consulate's own calendar covers notarial acts and emergencies.
The government fee is what it is, but VFS adds a service charge of $19 on top, and that is not the consulate's money.
