What to do if Indian e-visa is rejected or stuck in document upload loop?

TL;DR
If your Indian e-visa is rejected, you'll need to apply in person at the Indian embassy in your home country. If documents are stuck in an upload loop, wait and recheck status — the system sometimes confirms uploads with a delay.
What the community said
During an Indian e-visa application, the system sent repeated requests to re-upload blurry document photos, but clicking the upload link showed documents were already received. The visa status page still showed a 48-hour upload deadline. This appears to be a website glitch — waiting for the status to update is advisable rather than looping through uploads indefinitely.

A second application for a one-year Indian e-visa can take around two weeks to process and may be rejected without clear explanation, even if the first visa was approved without issues. Upon rejection, applicants are directed to visit the Indian embassy in their home country to resolve the matter in person.
