Applicants should use the same passport to purchase their receipt ( Or pay fee) as they will use at the time of interview.
If your passport expires within the next 6 - 12 months It is advised to obtain a new passport prior to purchasing a receipt for a visa interview.

FAQ :

What about people located in other cities where there is no HDFC bank listed in here? How do they pay the fee?

Any one( Friend or relative) on behalf of the applicant can go to any of these HDFC brach and can pay the fee, the person will need the photocopy of first page of the passport of each applicant though.
