Do I submit Form-C for guest on tourist visa?

A foreign national friend of mine is planning to visit India on a tourist visa and will be staying at my residence for a period not exceeding 90 days. There will be no monetary consideration, as they are a personal guest. In this context, am I still required to submit Form-C as a host?

Yes, even if your friend is staying at your home as a personal guest without payment, you must submit Form-C online within 24 hours of their arrival. It is mandatory under Indian immigration rules to inform the FRRO (Foreigners Regional Registration Office) about a foreigner staying at a private residence, regardless of the nature of stay.
