Airport Rule Change: Stamping on boarding passes stopped from September 1, rules regarding immigration are changing
Airport new rule: Starting September 1st, travelers traveling abroad from India will no longer have an immigration stamp on their boarding passes. The process can be completed by showing the e-boarding pass on their mobile phone, and physical boarding passes will also be accepted.
Airport new rule: If you’re traveling abroad from India, one task at the airport is about to become easier. Starting September 1st, there’s no need to get your boarding pass stamped at the immigration counter. Simply show your e-boarding pass saved on your mobile phone, complete the necessary immigration process, and proceed. Travelers will now have an extra step removed from their journey.
According to the new rules, travelers traveling abroad will be able to show their e-boarding pass stored on their mobile phone at the immigration counter. This means there’s no need to print the boarding pass just to get it stamped. However, travelers who prefer to keep a paper boarding pass will be able to use that as well.
Both boarding passes accepted
According to the Bureau of Immigration, both e-boarding passes and physical boarding passes will be accepted, but immigration officers will no longer stamp the boarding passes. Travelers participating in the Fast Track Immigration (FTI) and Trusted Traveler Program (TTP) will also be able to use e-boarding passes at e-gates. This could simplify the process for travelers availing this service.
Why the Change Was Made
The purpose of eliminating the stamping process on boarding passes is to simplify and expedite immigration clearance. Previously, travelers could only present their boarding pass before the immigration stamp was applied. This often resulted in unclear or legible stamps.
The Bureau of Immigration has described this change as a step towards less paper, fewer steps, and a smoother journey. This means travelers will be less likely to need to handle paper documents repeatedly, and the immigration process will be more digital.
Under the new rule, travelers will be required to complete the necessary immigration procedures, but boarding passes will not be stamped. Airport operators, CISF, and other relevant agencies have also been informed of this change.
