India Ends Physical Boarding Pass Stamping for International Flyers 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 directed all international airports and related authorities to accept e-boarding passes for clearance, aiming to simplify the process and reduce errors caused by stamping. Physical boarding passes will still be accepted but will not be stamped. The change follows internal communication from the Foreigners Regional Registration Officer in Delhi.
