The government of India has introduced the Immigration and Foreigners Bill 2025 with an aim to bring sweeping changes to the country’s immigration structure. Union Home Minister Amit Shah introduced the bill in the Lok Sabha, focusing its role in enhancing national security by allowing visa denial on this ground.
The key provisions of the bill include imposing a penalty of up to Rs 10 lakh on foreigners overstaying their visas and setting up a National Immigration Commission to monitor immigration policies. The bill also seeks to strengthen existing laws relating to immigration and the status of foreigners in the country.
However, opposition parties have raised concerns about potential violations of constitutional rights, arguing that the bill’s broad definitions could lead to abuse and discrimination. They have called for the bill to be referred to a parliamentary committee for further scrutiny.
The bill has sparked nationwide debate, with supporters claiming it is necessary for national security, while critics warn it could encroach on personal freedoms and adversely impact tourism and international relations.
As the bill goes through the legislative process, its implications on India’s immigration policy and global position remain a focus of discussion.
