India Ends Physical Boarding Pass Requirement at Immigration from September 1
From September 1, international passengers flying from India will no longer need to carry physical boarding passes or have them stamped at immigration counters. The Bureau of Immigration has informed airport operators and security agencies that e-boarding passes will be accepted for clearance, while physical boarding passes will still be allowed but not stamped. This change aims to simplify and improve the immigration process at all international airports across the country.
