What is ILPS ?
Inner Line Permit (ILP) is an official travel document issued by the Govt of India to allow inward travel of an Indian Citizen into a protected area for a limited period.
It is obligatory for Indian citizens from outside those states to obtain permit for entering into the protected state.
The document is an effort by the government to regulate movement to certain areas located near the international border of India.
ILPS is an offshoot of the Bengal Eastern Frontier Regulations, 1873,which protected Crown's interest in the tea, oil and elephant trade by prohibiting "British subjects" from entering into these "Protected Areas" (to prevent them from establishing any commercial venture that could rival the Crown's agents)
The word "British subjects" was replaced by Citizen of India in 1950
The states which require the permit are
Arunachal Pradesh
ILPS is required for entering Arunachal Pradesh through any of the check gates across the interstate border with Assam or Nagaland
An ILP for temporary visitors is valid for 15 days and can be extended, while one for those taking employment in the state and their immediate family members is valid for a year.
Mizoram
ILP is required for entering Mizoram through any of the check gates across the inter-State borders
Typically, a "Temporary ILP" is issued to visitors, which is valid for 15 days, and can be extended another 15 days, with the possibility of extending it to one month in exceptional circumstances. However, with the sponsorship of a local resident or government department, a "Regular ILP" can be procured, which is valid for 6 months and can be renewed twice for another 6 months each
If arriving by air, an ILP can be obtained on arrival at Lengpui Airport in Aizwal
Nagaland
ILP is mandatory for Indian citizens of other states entering Nagaland through any of the check gates across the interstate borders
Dimapur, Nagaland's largest city and porthead, is the only place in the state which does not require an ILP, and Indians arriving by air at Dimapur Airport can arrive and stay in the city without one.
Indian citizens also need a Nagaland-issued ILP if entering Manipur by road via Dimapuror Kohima
An ILP was previously required for certain parts of the Leh District in J& K. This requirement was abolished by a circular issued by district magistrate which took effect from 1 May 2014, although foreign nationals are required to get Protected Area Permit for this region
