Which consulate handles you Each Schengen state divides India into consular districts by state of residence, so a Gujarat resident and a Punjab resident applying to the same country can be routed to different consulates. The exact map differs per state and changes; the outsourcer (VFS, BLS or TLS) for your destination shows the right centre for your address. Our guide to the outsourcers lists who serves whom.
