No, the ₹15 lakh you have is not the same as the blocked account requirement for a Germany student visa.

You must deposit about €11,904 (around ₹13 - 13.5 lakh) into a blocked account to prove your living expenses for one year. This amount is mandatory and separate from tuition fees or other funds.

If your total budget is ₹15 lakh, you still need to arrange the blocked account amount specifically for the visa process.

Cash income, business income or no ITR?
