Starting September 1, Indian airports are discontinuing immigration clearance

Starting September 1, Indian airports will stop requiring physical boarding pass stamping during immigration clearance for international travelers. Under the new policy, passengers can use either an electronic boarding pass on their phone or a printed copy, but immigration officers will no longer apply a stamp. The Bureau of Immigration introduced this change to streamline the departure process and reduce inconvenience, especially when stamps were unclear. The update was communicated internally by Delhi FRRO Deepak Yadav and shared with airport operators and security forces. Travelers using digital boarding passes will no longer need to carry a separate printed version for immigration purposes, though physical copies remain available without stamps.
