What is Form C in India

All hotels in India must fill out a foreigner registration form. It is called Form C and helps authorities locate and track foreigners in India.

This form has to be uploaded on the government portal within 24 hours of the guest checking in. For guests from certain countries, you may need to fill out the form within 12 hours. To fill up the form, you need to have the guest details like name, passport number, visa number and date of arrival into the country. This process is easy and has to be filled out online.

Once the guest checks out, you need to fill out the departure form as well.

There are severe fines for not uploading these forms on time, so please fill out these forms if your hotel is in India and you have foreigners staying with you.
