Before a few years they did accept NRIs with India passports.Nowadays they don't.My experiences are from Bangalore,Delhi,Varanasi and Chennai(Foreign tourist counters).They don't even accept OCI card(Overseas citizen of India),PIO card(Person of Indian origin) and any other type of Indian visa.Strictly only for "T" visa category.
