I'm still to start my research on CIC part. In the meantime can you please share the procedure and link where I can learn about how to do instant payment and attach the receipt with application.
I personally think it's better than sending Bank DD and giving credit card details as DD takes sometime to encashed and cause delay than the instant payment and giving credit card details has a fear of decline. I'd probably do instant payment and attach the receipt with my application. Thanks

You can pay your fees in different ways depending on the fee type and where you are paying from. Answer the questions below to get payment instructions.
How to pay your fees - 2 options (the below ones for the location i am in)
Apply on paper and pay online
Send payment with your application
Yes this is the best way to avoid any issue with the payment. One less headache whether the payment went through our credit card/demand draft/etc. The only thing in this is we will not know when they encashed it which we will know if its credit card but dangerous thing is if credit card is not working at that time its a major problem as the application would be returned. so online payment is good.
