Is the last question there really true? If you are rejected the visa, you can re-use the same HDFC Bank Receipt? From what I understood you had to re-pay the fees if you are going for your second attempt in the same year....

Please clarify.

I searched on google. Here is the clip from New Delhi US Embassy Web Site:
"The Visa Fee Receipt is void once the interview has taken place, and cannot be used to make a subsequent appointment."

That's what I thought. HDFC Bank Receipt can be used only once.
