WITH an aim to further tighten national security by better regulating immigration into the country, the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) on Tuesday issued a set of new rules under the Immigration and Foreigners Act, 2025, which stipulates stricter norms for entry, stay and deportation of foreigners.
The order, through a gazette notification, said foreigners may be denied entry or stay in India if found to be "convicted of serious crimes such as terrorism, espionage, rape, murder, human trafficking, cybercrime, drug smuggling, or membership of a banned organisation".
Persons found to be involved in cases relating to "fake travel documents, money laundering, hawala transactions, child abuse and racketeering" will also be barred from entering India.
