No, don't buy any confirmed tickets. You can submit provisional flight itineraries.

It's not advisable to buy tickets. It doesn't increase the chances of approval + there's always a chance that processing could go beyond the flights dates

Travel agents are only looking to increase their business (i.e. sell tickets) even if the situation/the visa process does not demand it. No, it is not necessary to submit tickets for a TRV application

The same travel agents will be happy to quote much higher fare tickets if you want to change the ticket date/sector later if visa processing is delayed.

I suggest you ditch the travel agents. You can get a provisional itinerary - for free, holding the booking for 24 hours - from Expedia or a travel agent who has the Amadeus ticketing software. And mention in the cover letter that you will book confirmed tickets when your mom is issued a TRV

You'll probably lose money that way.

Do check www.yatra.com or www.cleartrip.com or www.makemytrip..... I can't remember which one of them allows you to hold a ticket for 24 hours/a few days for INR 500

ok thank you I will check.
