Foreigners including foreign citizens of Indian origin to be tagged in India with secret database files created

Every foreigner and foreign citizens including that of Indian origin who visits India will soon be ''tagged'', and his/her unique case file identity folder will be stored as part of a massive database being created under the Home Ministry.

A new tamper-proof, machine-readable India visa sticker, sources said, will be launched by next month as part of this larger effort to revamp the foreigners’ visa, registration and tracking system.

Once the basic system has been set up, biometrics will be introduced for all visa applicants — to be launched on an experimental basis next year.

The Rs 1,100-crore Immigration, Visas, Foreigners’ Registration and Tracking (IVFRT) project is a direct fallout of the David Headley case, in which the Pakistani-American Lashkar-e-Toiba operative travelled undetected across India during multiple visits, scoping out terror targets.
