**For a short trip solely to attend the interview, a Schengen short-stay visa (type C), with “Business” as the purpose, is the appropriate starting point. Employer sponsorship can establish how your trip is funded, but you should still submit your personal financial documents.**

1. **Visa category**

   Belgium publishes a business-visit checklist for applicants in India. My reading is that an employer-arranged job interview fits this professional purpose. State **“job interview with [company]”** clearly in your application and cover letter, and attach an invitation specifying the interview dates and intended stay. The published checklist does not expressly mention recruitment interviews, so confirm the checkbox with the Belgian visa section if needed. This advice assumes you will attend the interview and return to India; taking up employment requires the relevant authorization.

2. **Minimum balance and employer sponsorship**

   Belgium’s published reference amounts are **€95 per day when staying in a hotel** and **€45 per day when staying with a private host**. Your €30–€50 estimate therefore needs adjusting if you will stay in a hotel.

   **The India checklist does not publish a fixed personal account balance for a fully employer-funded visit.** Belgian business-visa guidance recognizes a Belgian company’s undertaking to cover all expenses as evidence of financial means. However, the India checklist still requests three months of bank statements, income-tax papers and three salary slips. Submit those even with sponsorship.

   Ask the prospective employer for a signed letter specifying whether it covers return flights, accommodation, meals and local transport. Have it explain **whether costs are paid directly or reimbursed later**. If reimbursement comes after the visit, show how you will pay the initial costs yourself.

   The **three months is the statement-history requirement**. The checklist does not say you must maintain a particular balance throughout that period. Briefly explain your salary credits, EMI payments and savings transfers, with supporting investment statements where useful. I cannot determine from a ₹10,000 balance alone whether your financial evidence will be sufficient.

3. **Savings in your wife’s account**

   You can offer her documents as supplementary evidence of household resources, but an account solely in her name needs an explanation of how those funds are available to you.

   A practical supporting package would be:

   - Her signed letter confirming the amount she makes available for your trip.
   - Her recent three months of bank statements and a copy of her passport or ID.
   - Your marriage certificate.
   - Evidence of your transfers into her account and, where relevant, her income.

   This is a suggested evidence package; the published India business checklist does not specify a spouse-sponsorship procedure. Follow the embassy’s legalization requirements for the marriage certificate and confirm whether it needs any further documents.

**You still need to demonstrate that the visit is financially covered. An accepted employer undertaking can provide that evidence; the published guidance does not establish a universal requirement to duplicate all sponsored costs in your own account.** Make the employer’s coverage explicit and document any expenses you must pay yourself.
