Is the minimum block account amount around four to five lakhs acceptable, or is a higher amount required in Ireland/Germany?

No, a blocked account amount of ₹4 - 5 lakhs is generally not enough for most European countries' student visa requirements.
Typical minimum amounts by country (subject to change):
- Germany: €11,904/year (about ₹12.9 lakhs)
- Italy: €5,537.64/year (about ₹4.85 lakhs)
- Sweden: SEK 100,440/year (about ₹7.5 lakhs)
- Ireland: €3,000 (about ₹2.65 lakhs, for courses up to one year)
- Belgium: €13,200/year (about ₹11.7 lakhs)
- France: €7,380/year (about ₹6.5 lakhs)
Most countries require proof of a higher amount than ₹4 - 5 lakhs, except for some short courses in Ireland and certain cases in Italy.
