India Visa · Quick Answer
Can I Enter India With Both Old and New Passport If the eVisa Is on the Old One?
No. An India e-Visa is tied to the passport it was issued against, and carrying the old passport alongside a new one does not make the e-Visa valid on the new passport. You must travel on the passport linked to the e-Visa, or apply for a fresh e-Visa on the new passport.
