How to remove fungus from my nikon slr lens? The inside of the lens is very dirty and has fungus. How can i clean it from home? Or how much it will cost to clean the lens from shop in India?

Clean it at home - bad idea, too precision of a job
Have it cleaned - the better idea; no idea what labor rates are in India. Call the local camewra shop for an estimate. I'm guessing whatever $125 is in Ruppees.

Cleaning a camera lens is a job for a trained technician. It isn't something you should try. If the lens suffering from fungus is the usual 18-55mm zoom that Nikon includes with its entry-level cameras it will be cheaper to buy another 18-55mm zoom then it will to have yours cleaned/repaired.

Heavy infestation? Soak elements in vinegar.

Light streaks? Leave under the sun (capless at both ends) three hours at midday.
