Compulsory government charges only. Service fees and anything optional are excluded, which is what makes the figure comparable.
Driving on a India license
India is party to the 1949 Geneva Convention and Belarus to the 1968 Vienna Convention. They share none, so no treaty obliges Belarus to recognize an International Driving Permit issued in India.
Whether a permit is required alongside your national license is set by national road law, which we have not checked for this pair.
