Inner Line Permit

An Inner Line Permit (ILP) is an official document required for non-residents to visit certain protected or sensitive regions within a state, such as in northeastern India. It acts as a legal authorization, ensuring that visitors abide by local regulations and security protocols. The ILP helps prevent illegal immigration, manages tourism, and preserves cultural and environmental integrity. Visitors typically need to apply for an ILP before entering these areas, either online or at designated government offices. Overall, it is a way to regulate movement and maintain the region’s safety and identity.
