Visa-on-arrival for select countries, simpler hotel rules: NITI Aayog proposes tourism overhaul

According to the report, India welcomed around 20.6 million international tourist arrivals, including NRIs, in 2024, while foreign tourist arrivals stood at 9.95 million. Tourism contributed ₹15.73 lakh crore, or 5.22% of GDP, during FY24 and supported an estimated 84.6 million jobs.

Niti Ayog has argued that India’s tourism potential remains constrained not by a lack of demand but by regulatory bottlenecks that delay investments and discourage international travellers.

Money sent by an NRI to specified relatives, including parents, spouse, children and certain other close family members, is fully exempt from tax under the Income-tax Act.
