what is non ecr category

The Non-ECR category is a type of Indian passport that indicates that no emigration check is required for the passport holder. It was formerly known as ECNR (Emigration Check Not Required) . In India, there are two categories of passports: ECR (Emigration Check Required) and Non-ECR. When applying for a passport, an individual will fall into either the ECR or Non-ECR category. An Emigration Check is a verification process, and if an individual has an ECR category passport, they will have to go through an emigration check if they plan to work in certain foreign countries. The Non-ECR category is for people who are educationally qualified and want to travel for work or other purposes.
