Can I pay for Apple Developer enrolment by gift card balance?

Developer in India here trying to enroll in the Apple Developer Program via the Apple Developer app on macOS.

I'd like to pay via Gift Card balance since Apple seems to show that option on the Developer app and Apple's own documentation outlines India as an exception to its prohibition of gift cards as payments for enrolment fees.

Before I purchase a gift card, want to be sure this works. Has anyone in India successfully completed enrollment using gift card balance? Did it actually go through?

Developer Support is currently reviewing your case that you have opened, they will get back to you soon.
