C Form (FRRO)
The C Form is a mandatory and critical document for all foreign guests staying in India, as it enables the Institute to comply with the legal requirements prescribed under the Foreigners Act and related regulations. It serves as an official record of a foreign national’s stay, including details of their identity, visa, and duration of visit, which must be reported to the concerned authorities through the Bureau of Immigration/FRRO. Proper submission of the C Form ensures regulatory compliance, facilitates smooth security clearance, and helps avoid legal complications for both the guest and the host institution.
