From 1 September 2026, the Bureau of Immigration under the Ministry of Home Affairs stopped stamping boarding passes at immigration counters for passengers departing India on international flights, across all international airports in the country. Passengers can now show an electronic boarding pass on their phone for immigration clearance, and those still carrying a paper boarding pass will no longer have it stamped. The Bureau said the change was meant to reduce passenger inconvenience caused by incorrect or illegible stamping, and it does not affect visa or e-Arrival Card requirements for entering India.
