Starting a Homestay in Andaman and Nicobar Islands

01 / Executive finding

The practical starting point

• The current controlling homestay instrument located is the Directorate of Tourism Notification F. No. 14-4/IIB&B/TSM/2009/, dated 22 February 2013, titled *Guidelines for approval and registration of Andaman & Nicobar Bed & Breakfast / Home Stay Establishment Scheme*. No later official amendment, rescission or replacement of this scheme was located. Its continuing operational relevance is supported by the Tourism Department's 2025 approved B&B/Homestay lists and a 2026 NSWS approval record. [S1, Notification; S2; S4]
• Classification is available only where the owner/promoter, together with his or her family, physically resides in the same establishment. A non-resident owner using only a caretaker therefore does not satisfy the located definition. Whether a resident lessee can be treated as the “promoter” is not expressly resolved. [S1, Detailed Guidelines cl.1; Annexure I field 6(a)]
• The permitted guest inventory is minimum 1 and maximum 6 rooms, with maximum 12 beds. The source limits the rooms being let to guests; it does not expressly state that the whole building may contain no more than six rooms. [S1, Detailed Guidelines cl.1; Annexure II item 3; Annexure B item 2]
• The notified scheme says it applies “all over the A & N Islands”, but that is tourism-scheme coverage, not permission to develop every parcel. Tribal-reserve restrictions, land-use controls, municipal/building law, forests, wildlife/eco-sensitive areas and ICRZ/IIMP controls remain independent. [S1, Annexure B item 1; S7, s.40(2); S11; S13]
• There is no domicile, permanent-resident or “Islander” requirement stated in the 2013 tourism notification. That absence must not be confused with landholding, tenure, tribal-area or passenger-access rules. [S1, Detailed Guidelines and Annexures I–III — no such condition located]
• Homestays are classified as Silver or Gold. Silver room minimums are 120 sq ft urban/100 sq ft rural; Gold minimums are 200 sq ft urban/120 sq ft rural. Bathrooms are 30 sq ft Silver and 40 sq ft Gold. [S1, Annexure II items 4 and 7]
• Classification is valid for three years. Reclassification should be sought three months before expiry if continuity from the previous classification expiry date is required. [S1, Detailed Guidelines cl.4]
• The classification committee is chaired by the Director (Tourism); the committee inspects and recommends, and the recommendation is approved by the Secretary (Tourism). [S1, Detailed Guidelines cls.8–9]
• The notification states that complete classification cases “would be finalized within 30 days.” This is a stated administrative processing period in the scheme, not a statutory guarantee that approval will issue within 30 days. [S1, Detailed Guidelines cl.16]
• The official sources are not aligned on fees. Detailed Guideline cl.6 calls ₹1,000 Silver/₹2,000 Gold the classification/reclassification application fee, while Annexure B item 5 calls those amounts a registration fee and item 13 separately states an ₹100 application fee. No current public portal screen resolves whether ₹100 is additional, obsolete or otherwise handled. [S1, cl.6; Annexure B items 5 and 13]
• The official sources are not aligned on the application channel. The Tourism Department's legacy application page instructs applicants to use NSWS, while the current NSWS Andaman & Nicobar page, last reviewed 07 August 2026, reports 0 approvals found; the separately indexed homestay approval record states that the permission cannot presently be applied for through NSWS. A written Tourism Department answer is required before payment/submission. [S3; S4; S5]
• A company, LLP, partnership, trust, society or professional-management company is not expressly identified as an eligible homestay registration holder in the 2013 instrument. The form speaks of promoters/owners, but the controlling residence test requires owner/promoter with family to live in the establishment and Annexure III is signed by the owner. A juridical-person registration route must therefore not be published as settled. [S1, cl.1; Annexure I fields 3 and 10]
• Foreign guests trigger a separate current central obligation: Rule 17 of the Immigration and Foreigners Rules, 2025 expressly includes homestays, requires electronic accommodation records for at least one year, and requires Form III arrival and departure reporting within 24 hours. [S15, Rule 17(1), (5)–(7)]

02 / Document chronology

Use the current rules and implementation

1. 1956–1957 — Protection of Aboriginal Tribes framework. Regulation No.3 of 1956 and reserve notifications establish a pre-existing protected-area regime. The 21 April 1957 notification restricts non-tribal entry into reserved areas except under authorised pass/conditions. Later reserve notifications and amendments exist and must be checked for a specific site. [S13]
2. 1966 — Land Revenue and Land Reforms Regulation. Section 40 separately controls diversion from one assessed land use to another. Tourism classification does not amend this requirement. [S7, s.40]
3. 1994 onward — planning and municipal framework. Municipal construction controls and Town & Country Planning instruments operate separately from tourism registration. [S8; S9; S30]
4. 1999 — Port Blair Municipal Council Building Bye-Laws, subsequently affected by newer amendments including the 2025 Sri Vijaya Puram building amendments. The 1999 text must not be used without the amendments. [S9]
5. 2009 — A&N Tourism Policy. This is useful historical context but is not the controlling 2026 homestay instrument. Its older coastal-setback or general subsidy propositions must not be carried forward without newer implementing authority. [S29]
6. 22 February 2013 — B&B/Home Stay Notification. This is the current operative homestay-specific instrument located. [S1]
7. 2014 and 2017 — Tourism Trade Regulations files. Both texts say they come into force on a date to be appointed by a later Lieutenant Governor Gazette notification. No commencement notification was located. They therefore cannot safely be treated as enacted current hotel/guest-house law. [S26, cl.1(iii); S27, cl.1(iii)]
8. 2017 — PBMC Solid Waste Bye-Laws. Applicable in municipal limits. [S10]
9. 8 March 2019 — ICRZ Notification 2019, S.O.1242(E). It superseded the 2011 IPZ framework as provided in the notification, with application dependent on updated/approved island plans. [S11]
10. 2025 — current coastal and building developments. A&NCZMA was reconstituted by S.O.2512(E), 9 June 2025; SPMC lists 2025 building amendments. [S9; S12, p.55]
11. 1 September 2025 — Immigration and Foreigners Rules, 2025. These replaced the previous foreigner-reporting framework to the extent specified and now expressly define homestays as accommodation under Rule 17. [S15]
12. 30 July 2025 — latest Tourism Department approved B&B/Homestay list located. It demonstrates continued operation of the 2013 classification framework. [S2]
13. 1 April 2026 — FSSAI licensing reforms/threshold changes effective. Older official FSSAI pages that still display ₹12 lakh are stale on this point; the 2026 order/FAQ controls the current threshold statement. [S17]
14. 2026 — portal mismatch remains. Tourism directs applicants to NSWS, while NSWS's state page last reviewed 7 August 2026 reports no available A&N approvals. [S3–S5] No express instrument rescinding the 2013 homestay notification was located.

03 / Category definitions

Choose the right accommodation category

The existence of a label on an OTA or local trade licence does not establish the Tourism Department category.

04 / Eligibility decision tree

Check whether the applicant and property qualify

Start with the exact property address and local-body category. A. Is there already a specific property?

• No — only capital/idea exists: no classification application can yet be prepared because the Tourism form requires a named establishment, exact premises, title/lease information, room areas, public areas and photographs. Not established in the published material for any pre-property or in-principle homestay classification. → Confirm this in writing with the authority only if an applicant wants a formal pre-development tourism indication.
• Yes: determine whether the address lies in a municipal area, Panchayat/rural area, ICRZ/IIMP area, tribal reserve, forest/protected/ESZ area or another restricted jurisdiction. → Continue only after adjacent site constraints are screened. B. What is the property position?
• Individual owns it: continue.
• Joint/co-owned/inherited: co-sharer affidavit is required by the scheme; establish all title interests. → continue.
• Long-term lease: Tourism's form expressly accepts leased title/lease deed, but whether a lessee may personally be the qualifying resident “promoter” is not explicit. → Confirm this in writing with the authority.
• Company/LLP/firm owns or leases it: juridical-person registration-holder eligibility is not expressly provided. → Confirm this in writing with the authority. C. Who will live in the establishment?
• Owner/promoter and family will physically live there: continue.
• Owner lives elsewhere and only caretaker/staff stay there: conflicts with Detailed Guideline 1. → does not appear to fit the published homestay definition.
• Resident lessee/promoter and family live there: lease evidence is accepted, but legal treatment of the lessee as qualifying promoter is unclear. → Confirm this in writing with the authority.
• Company-appointed manager lives there: no source says a manager substitutes for the owner/promoter and family. → Confirm this in writing with the authority. D. Who will operate it?
• Resident owner personally operates: supported by the scheme's basic structure.
• Professional manager assists resident owner: no prohibition located, but no rule expressly separates “registration holder” and “operator.” → This appears to fit the published route, subject to the remaining checks only if the qualifying resident-host condition remains real; operator arrangement itself remains Not established in the published material.
• Management company is intended to replace resident host: → does not appear to fit the published homestay definition unless Tourism gives a written alternative interpretation. E. What is the guest-room plan?
• 1–6 guest rooms and max 12 beds → continue.
• More than 6 guest rooms or 12 beds → does not appear to fit the published homestay definition.
• Building contains more than six rooms but only up to six are let → source limits let-able/guest rooms, not expressly total rooms; obtain confirmation for unusual layouts. → This appears to fit the published route, subject to the remaining checks, subject to written confirmation if material. F. Existing or proposed building?
• Fully operational and compliant: classification can be pursued.
• Proposed/under construction: 2013 scheme classifies “fully operational rooms”; it is not a development approval. → Complete land/building/coastal approvals first. → Not established in the published material for pre-construction tourism classification.
• Existing running homestay with certificate: verify certificate validity, owner/resident host, category, room inventory and any reported changes. → This appears to fit the published route, subject to the remaining checks if unchanged and valid.
• Running unregistered accommodation: registration must be regularised; whether it falls into homestay or another accommodation category depends on residence/capacity. → Consider another accommodation category if homestay requirements fail. Use these branches as a starting test and confirm the result for the exact property.

08 / Application and inspection process

Follow the application and inspection process

Because the current submission channel is officially inconsistent, the reliable sequence is:

Supporting provisions: Detailed Guidelines cls.3, 5–10 and 16.

Inspection

The Classification Committee comprises:

• Director (Tourism), Chair;
• Deputy Director (Tourism);
• Assistant Director, India Tourism, Junglighat;
• Manager (Tourism), Member Secretary; and
• President, Hotel & Restaurant Association of A&N Islands. Chair + any two members forms the quorum. The Secretary (Tourism) approves the recommendation. [S1, cls.8–9] The committee assesses both presence and quality of facilities. If deficiencies are identified, a compliance period is fixed in consultation with the establishment representative; failure to rectify results in rejection. [S1, cls.7 and 10]

09 / Fees, timelines, validity and renewal

Confirm fees, timing and certificate validity

Fee conclusion

Do not publish a single “total fee.” The notification itself is internally inconsistent. Written Directorate confirmation is necessary.

10 / Operating duties after registration

Run the registered homestay correctly

Confirmed by the Tourism scheme

• Maintain classification standards continuously; surprise inspection may occur without notice. [S1, cl.12]
• Operate on a bed-and-breakfast basis, specify breakfast type, display charges and inform visitors in advance. [S1, cl.2]
• Owner fixes tariff and displays it at the home/website under Annexure B. [S1, Annexure B-11]
• Maintain a guest check-in/check-out register; passport details are specifically called out for foreign tourists. [S1, Annexure II-36]
• Inform the Director of changes in facilities within 30 days. Failure can result in withdrawal/termination of classification. [S1, cl.15]
• Comply with municipal waste rules as a mandatory classification item. [S1, Annexure II-27]

Foreign guests

Rule 17 of the Immigration and Foreigners Rules, 2025 separately requires the accommodation keeper to:

• collect prescribed particulars from every foreigner, including an OCI cardholder;
• record arrival and departure details;
• retain the accommodation record electronically for at least one year;
• make it available to authorised authorities;
• submit Form III within 24 hours after arrival; and
• submit departure details within 24 hours after departure. “Accommodation” expressly includes a home stay. [S15, Rule 17] The live Bureau of Immigration portal identifies the online form as Form III, retaining “Form C” terminology in the interface/history.

Not located as settled homestay duties

• mandatory retention period for domestic guest registers: Not stated in the material reviewed;
• mandatory photocopy/storage of domestic guest IDs: Not stated in the material reviewed;
• monthly Tourism Department statistics return: Not stated in the material reviewed;
• mandatory Tourism complaint book: Not stated in the material reviewed;
• prescribed guest invoice format under the homestay scheme: Not stated in the material reviewed;
• mandatory certificate-display clause: Not stated in the material reviewed;
• routine staff/caretaker police verification: Not stated in the material reviewed in the homestay notification;
• local-employment quota: Not stated in the material reviewed;
• mandatory Tourism hospitality training: Not stated in the material reviewed; 2013 introduction only describes efforts to offer short-term training;
• compulsory insurance: Not stated in the material reviewed;
• homestay-specific incident-reporting procedure: Not stated in the material reviewed.

11 / Adjacent approvals and dependencies

Close the approvals outside Tourism

FSSAI

FSSAI's current official material states that every Food Business Operator is subject to registration/licensing under Section 31. Effective 1 April 2026, FSSAI's reform material sets turnover categorisation at:

• registration: up to ₹1.5 crore;
• State licence: above ₹1.5 crore and up to ₹50 crore;
• Central licence: above ₹50 crore, subject to the applicable regulatory category. Older FSSAI web pages still displaying the former ₹12 lakh threshold are stale on this issue and should not be used. The precise FoSCoS Kind of Business appropriate for an A&N resident-host homestay was Not stated in the material reviewed and should be selected against the actual service model rather than assumed to be “hotel.”

GST

CBIC's current public guidance states the general ₹20 lakh aggregate-turnover registration threshold, but GST liability can also depend on statutory exceptions and how bookings/supplies are structured. Tourism registration neither creates nor waives GST registration. [S19]

12 / Incentives, subsidy and funding

Evaluate incentives without assuming sanction

A. Tourism-scheme residential/domestic treatment

Scheme: A&N B&B/Home Stay Scheme, Annexure B item 14. Benefit stated: rates for property tax, electricity and water for classified B&B/Home Stay establishments “will be treated as residential/domestic.” [S1, Annexure B-14] Critical limitation: no current Electricity Department, water authority or municipal implementation order was located confirming how this 2013 provision is implemented in 2026. Status: explicit scheme concession, but present billing implementation Not stated in the current official material reviewed. It must not be priced into a project model until the responsible billing authorities confirm treatment for the specific connection/property.

B. A&N-specific homestay capital subsidy

CURRENT HOMESTAY-SPECIFIC CAPITAL SUBSIDY: Not stated in the current official material reviewed. Older tourism-policy statements referring generally to incentives/subsidies are not sufficient evidence of a current sanctionable scheme, application window, budget, ceiling or implementing process.

C. Prime Minister's Employment Generation Programme — potential route, not confirmed homestay entitlement

Scheme: Prime Minister's Employment Generation Programme (PMEGP). Purpose: credit-linked support for new micro-enterprises/non-farm self-employment ventures. [S21, MSME Annual Report 2025–26 p.84] Current verified project ceilings under the reviewed guidelines:

• manufacturing: ₹50 lakh;
• business/service: ₹20 lakh for subsidy coverage. The guidelines also permit banks in specified circumstances to sanction additional amounts, but the amount above the scheme ceiling is not subsidy-covered. [S21, guideline 8.3] Margin-money rates:

The current MSME Annual Report confirms the 15/25 and 25/35 margin-money rates. Applicant: generally an individual over 18 for a new-unit application, subject to scheme requirements. The detailed guideline must be checked for education thresholds and activity-specific provisions. Bank route: application proceeds through the PMEGP framework; banks appraise projects and provide finance. The revised guideline states banks are involved in beneficiary/project appraisal and finance. Udyam: new PMEGP units must be registered on Udyam before physical verification and margin-money adjustment. [S21, Annual Report p.84] Land cost: must be tested against the detailed PMEGP eligible-cost rules; it must not simply be assumed that acquisition cost is subsidy-eligible. Existing units: new-unit PMEGP assistance is not the same as support for an already running business; separate second-loan/upgradation provisions exist. Homestay-specific eligibility: NOT CONFIRMED. No official source located specifically classifies an A&N homestay activity as an eligible PMEGP activity. Activity-code/negative-list/DIC/KVIC/bank confirmation is therefore required. Applications currently open: the national PMEGP portal is live and provides a New Unit application route. A&N budget/sanction availability for a particular applicant in FY 2026–27: Not stated in the material reviewed/NOT CONFIRMED. Automatic? No. PMEGP involves eligibility, appraisal, bank sanction, implementation and margin-money conditions; a percentage should never be presented as guaranteed cash assistance.

13 / Business implications

Translate the rules into a workable project

Before selecting or acquiring property

For every candidate property, establish at least:

1. exact survey/address and island;
2. ownership/lease/tenure;
3. recorded land use;
4. municipal/Panchayat/planning jurisdiction;
5. ICRZ/IIMP position;
6. tribal-reserve/forest/ESZ position;
7. legal road/access position;
8. resident-host identity;
9. whether the intended guest inventory stays within six rooms/twelve beds;
10. whether the property is already sanctioned/occupied for its present use; and
11. whether intended ownership/operating structure can actually satisfy the Tourism definition. A low purchase price or physically suitable building cannot substitute for these tests.

Before construction or renovation

The Tourism scheme is not a development permission. It classifies fully operational rooms. New construction, additions, material alterations, use changes and coastal work should therefore be cleared under the relevant land/planning/building/environmental regime before the final tourism-classification step. [S1 Introduction; S7; S8]

Registration holder versus operating entity

The current source does not establish that the registered homestay holder and a professional operating company may be different persons. Accordingly, the project team should not represent that a management agreement, LLP, lease, revenue share or company structure automatically allows it—or any other juridical person—to become the Tourism registration holder. A management contract can allocate commercial and operational responsibilities between parties, but it cannot rewrite the Tourism Department's resident-owner/promoter eligibility test.

LLP or company structure

An LLP may solve contractual, accounting, investment or operating questions, but does not by itself solve:

• family residence;
• Tourism applicant eligibility;
• property title;
• land-use approval;
• building sanction;
• ICRZ;
• tribal-area access;
• police clearance;
• FSSAI;
• immigration reporting; or
• certificate transfer.

Property-development assessment

Property assessment should contain separate conclusions for:

• title/tenure;
• lawful land use;
• development potential;
• coastal/environmental constraints;
• resident-host eligibility;
• Tourism capacity;
• classification-grade readiness;
• food/foreign-guest operating obligations;
• utility/waste dependencies; and
• transaction/management structure.

Questions before business terms are proposed

the project team should know, before fixing commercial terms:

• who owns or leases the premises;
• who can legally be the Tourism applicant;
• who will actually reside onsite with family;
• who will contract with guests;
• who employs staff;
• whether a professional operator is acceptable to Tourism;
• which party obtains FSSAI/GST/Udyam and immigration accounts;
• whether the current certificate survives a sale/lease/management change;
• what construction is legally permitted; and
• whether any funding proposal requires ownership, new-unit or bank conditions inconsistent with the intended structure. No fixed equity percentage, capital contribution, revenue share or income guarantee follows from the regulatory material.

14 / Official-source conflicts

Resolve conflicting official instructions

Conflict 1 — Tourism fee structure

Source A: S1 Detailed Guideline 6. Proposition: classification/reclassification “application fee” is ₹1,000 Silver or ₹2,000 Gold. Source B: S1 Annexure B items 5 and 13. Propositions:

• item 5: “Registration Fee” = ₹1,000 Silver/₹2,000 Gold;
• item 13: “Application fee” = ₹100. Date/hierarchy: both are contained in the same 22 February 2013 notification. No amendment resolving the drafting inconsistency was located. Result: The official sources are not aligned. Affected properties: every new classification/reclassification applicant. Required authority: Director/Manager, Directorate of Tourism, Sri Vijaya Puram. Public treatment: do not state a payable total until Tourism confirms it in writing.

Conflict 2 — Current application portal

Source A: Tourism Department's official legacy application page. Proposition: “This web application has been moved to the National Single Window System (NSWS).” Source B: NSWS current A&N state approvals page, last reviewed 07 August 2026. Proposition: “0 Approvals Found in Andaman and Nicobar Islands.” NSWS itself includes a disclaimer that its list may be incomplete. Source C: separately indexed NSWS approval metadata for “Permission for Grant Bed and Breakfast Home Stay” indicates that it cannot currently be applied for through NSWS. Hierarchy: neither portal display constitutes an amendment to S1; this is an implementation-route conflict. Result: The official sources are not aligned. Affected properties: every applicant. Required authority: Directorate of Tourism; copy NSWS/DPIIT if necessary. Public treatment: publication should not tell applicants to “apply on NSWS” as a settled current step.

Conflict 3 — Foreign-national access toward Nicobar

The current DSS terms contain:

• a general statement that foreign nationals are not permitted to travel beyond Hut Bay (Little Andaman); and
• a Nicobar-sector-specific statement that foreign nationals are not permitted to the Nicobar Group of Islands. These propositions point in the same restrictive direction for Nicobar but are not identical descriptions of geographic access. Result: The official sources are not aligned as to the precise outer boundary/exceptions stated on the DSS service page. Affected property: any project relying on foreign guests in Nicobar or access beyond Little Andaman. Authority for written answer: Nicobar Deputy Commissioner, Directorate of Shipping Services and the competent immigration/registration authority.

Resolved source-age issue — FSSAI

Some FSSAI webpages still display the old ₹12 lakh registration threshold. The official March 2026 FSSAI reform material expressly states that revised turnover thresholds apply from 1 April 2026. The newer instrument controls the current statement. Status: resolved by date/hierarchy; do not publish the stale threshold.

Resolved source-age issue — coastal setback

Old tourism policy material must not be used to publish a universal historic coastal setback. ICRZ 2019 and approved ICRZP/IIMP mapping now govern the current coastal enquiry on an island/parcel basis.

15 / Unresolved questions for the authority

Take the remaining questions to the authority

The following are suitable for a written request to the Directorate of Tourism:

1. Current filing route: The Tourism B&B page says applications have moved to NSWS, while NSWS currently shows no A&N approvals. What is the operative application URL/process as of September 2026?
2. Current fee: Does an applicant pay ₹100 in addition to ₹1,000 Silver/₹2,000 Gold, or has Annexure B item 13 been superseded?
3. Payment mode: Is the demand-draft mechanism in Detailed Guideline 6 still operative, or is payment now electronic?
4. Lessee: Because Annexure I field 6(a) accepts leased property but Guideline 1 requires an owner/promoter and family to reside onsite, may a long-term resident lessee be the classification holder?
5. Company/LLP: Can a company, partnership or LLP be the certificate holder? If yes, how is the “promoter along with family” residence condition satisfied?
6. Professional operator: May an individually registered resident-owner homestay appoint a professional management company while the owner/family remains resident?
7. Guest contracting entity: May the management company contract with guests/collect revenue while the Tourism certificate remains in the individual resident owner's name?
8. Total building inventory: If a residence has more than six total rooms but no more than six are offered to guests, does it remain eligible?
9. Joint ownership: Is there a current prescribed form/stamp value/notarisation requirement for the co-sharer affidavit?
10. Police clearance: Which A&N Police unit currently issues the owner/proposed-activity clearance, what is its validity and what form is used for the two references?
11. Transfer/sale: What happens to a valid classification when the property is sold?
12. Succession: What procedure applies where the registered owner dies and heirs continue the homestay?
13. Lease/change of operator: Is fresh classification required when title remains unchanged but a lease or professional-management arrangement is introduced?
14. Room amendment: Is prior approval required before increasing/decreasing registered guest rooms within the six-room limit, or is a cl.15 notification within 30 days sufficient?
15. Appeal: What authority and limitation period apply to rejection, withdrawal or termination?
16. Fire: Does Tourism currently require a Fire Service NOC for any homestay category/building type beyond Annexure I's “if any” fire-equipment disclosure?
17. Portal documents: Are Aadhaar, sanctioned building plan, completion/occupancy certificate, PAN or current photographs now mandatory through the electronic form even though absent from the 2013 notification?
18. Statistics: Is a monthly/quarterly guest or occupancy return currently required?
19. Staff verification: Is police verification currently required for employees/caretakers?
20. Utility concession: Is Annexure B item 14's residential/domestic property-tax, electricity and water treatment still implemented, and by which orders?
21. Nicobar: Is a private resident-host homestay permissible in each inhabited Nicobar locality outside protected/restricted land, and what additional district approval is required?
22. Current approved list: Is there a post-30 July 2025 consolidated register of valid B&B/Home Stay certificates? Property-specific questions should additionally be put to the relevant SDO/DC, local planning authority, A&NCZMA and other competent authorities.
