India Ends Boarding Pass Stamping for International Travelers from September 1
Starting September 1, international travelers departing from India can use electronic boarding passes on their smartphones for immigration clearance, eliminating the need for physical boarding pass stamping. The Bureau of Immigration has communicated this change to airport authorities and security personnel to streamline the process. Physical boarding passes will still be accepted but will no longer be stamped by immigration or security officials, aiming to reduce passenger inconvenience and speed up clearance.
