Inner Line Permit (ILP) is an official travel document issued by the state government concerned 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 a permit to enter the protected state. The document is an effort by the government to regulate movement to certain areas located near the international border of India. An ILP is usually significantly easier to obtain than the analogous Protected Area Permit (PAP) which is the document required by non-citizens to enter the same areas.

About

According to the Constitution of India, all Indian citizens are free to live and work in any state of the country, but entry to certain states with a protected status requires authorisation by the state government concerned, i.e. special permissions are required to visit these areas. Such a permit authorising an Indian or foreign citizen to enter a protected area is referred to as an 'inner line permit' as it grants entry to areas lying between the international boundary and the so-called "Inner Line" of the country.

There are also allegations that ILP will violates the fundamental rights of the Indian citizens guaranteed under Articles of 14, 15, 19 and 21 and also it will suppress the nation's Integrity. [1] [2]

States which require a permit

An ILP was previously required for certain parts of the Leh district in Ladakh. This requirement was abolished by a circular issued by the district magistrate which took effect from 1 May 2014, although foreign nationals are required to get Protected Area Permit for this region. [13] The ILP was implemented again in 2017 only to be removed again in 2021. [14]

Demands for ILP in other states

There are ongoing demands for the introduction of an ILP in Meghalaya to regulate the entry of outsiders into the state. [15]

There are also strong demands in Tamil Nadu for the introduction of ILP to regulate the unauthorized entry of outsiders into the state to reduce the crime rates. [16] [17] [18] [19] [20]
