Circular Title:

Emigration Check reg. in Passport*

Deptt./Section:

P & A*

Never Expired : Yes

We have received following message from Head Office for compliance of the concerned:

Message:

ADVISORY

It has been observed that a number of employees granted lien for going abroad to IFFCO's Joint Ventures have ECR (Emigration Check Required) stamp on their passports. Holders of ECR passports need a clearance called an Emigration Check from the Government of India's Protector of Emigrants when going to abroad on a work visa. This is to prevent the exploitation of Indian workers (especially the unskilled and less educated) when going abroad, particularly to Middle Eastern countries.

In view of the above, employees may be advised in their own interest to get ECR status deleted from their existing passports , if any, from the nearest Passport Seva Kendra and while applying for a fresh passport choose YES option for Non ECR category.

For further information on the same please refer to www.passportindia.gov.in
