 .
Why it is Important ?
This is an important form for
foreign nationals even when
they are staying in a hotel
/homestay/ Serviced
apartment or with an Indian
family.
Government of India
regulates the entry,
presence and departure of
every foreigner to and from
India.
Government of India has
entrusted all the State
(Provincial) Governments
with the functions of
regulating entry, presence
and departure of foreigners.
The Foreigners Act and the
Foreigners Rules provide
the regulatory code of
conduct for foreigners.

The submission of C-Forms and maintenance of guest registers stems from the
Foreigners Act 1946 and Registration of Foreigners Rules, 1992.
These requirements extend across India, and apply to all persons who
accommodate foreign guests for monetary consideration, including hotels, guest
houses, lodging houses etc.
Any person hosting a foreign guest for monetary consideration in India, even for
a few hours, should submit C-Forms.
The C-Form mechanism helps the authorities locate and track foreigners in India
to enhance security and safety. Failure to comply with reporting requirements
could result in fines and imprisonment of up to 5 years.
