“There are no penal provisions in place against illegal migrants in India”
What FACTLY found
Legislations namely Foreigners Act, 1946 and The Passport (Entry into India) Act, 1920 and subsequent rules framed under this act like Foreigners (Tribunals) Order, 1964 deal with illegal migrants entering into the country. These legislations also facilitate penal consequences against those who illegally entered or staying even after the expiry of visa. And there are also reports of authorities detaining and deporting illegal migrants under the provisions of these legislations
