“INDIA-SCOPED READING (ordinary Indian passport; tourism): You will need a visa to enter Benin if you are holding a travel document issued by India. Indian nationals are outside ECOWAS exemption coverage and must hold an electronic tourist or visit visa before arrival. Indian nationals may apply for an electronic visa / e-Visa through the official evisa.bj portal. An e-Visa application channel is available for tourism. The visa fee is 50 euros for a single-entry electronic visa. Official DEI primary tourism e-Visa fee: EUR 50 for one-month single entry. Multiple-entry EUR 75 / EUR 100 lines are not collapsed into this primary fee. A maximum stay ceiling of 90 days appears on the tourist visa product description; a crisp single-visit day-count for Indian tourism is not promoted as permittedStay here.”

Ordinary Indian passports sit outside ECOWAS exemption coverage, so the pre-travel e-Visa pathway applies. A tourist visa product ceiling of 90 days is not shown as a simple maximum-stay answer.
