PS: I searched online and got this link, http://police.and.nic.in/emcard.htm. however as I remember, at the bottom of the card there is an extra section regarding baggage.
Well, just as long as u don't use this one - it's Andaman and Nicobar Police's embarkation card!
I doubt your mom wud have found this useful.

Thank goodness they have abandoned the archaic 'embarkation' language!

Arival and departure is easy to understand

The ones in post #18 are out of date.

Didn't someone post the current design on recent thread?

The Arrival form and the Health form will be supplied by your airline onboard.

Nick.

I have used both of these arrival and departure cards in the last 12-15 months. I think they are current.

Thanks, Mike, and nyc.

The ones I have used most recently are the ones with the OCI/PIO information fields, and the Arrival card asking for country of residence

I think they are the third version I've encountered: the even-earlier ones used to have the cumbersome names disembarkation and embarkation.

I think the OP trying to organize this in advance for his mother is excellent.

When you have zero English you can have a problem. We ran into 2 young Japanese women in front of an Indian post office who simply could not understand why they wouldn't accept her post cards with addresses written in Japanese characters (I think Japanese is written with Chinese characters--very confusing). We went round & round trying to explain the post office can't read them, so they can't know where to send them! Just wasn't getting through. We finally gave up. It was not computing that no one could read those addresses but them them.

Me too, it's good to see that he made such an effort, I wonder how his mother enjoyed her trip.

I too needed to source one online in advance of my first flight to India, as I rightly suspected that I'd be totally out of it on motion sickness medication.

If someone speaks no language in common with the forms, English speaking passengers or the flight crew, it could be a problem, though most of the information could come off their passports or itinerary.

What an interesting situation "I have clearly written my address, you are a post office, what's the problem?"

You could have just written the word "Japan" at the bottom of the address on their postcards, which presumably would have been enough to get it to somewhere they could read the address. Isn't it great to have 20/20 hindsight?

Never thought of that!!! Brilliant! I also didn't notice this thread was from a year ago.

Having worked for a Japanese company in London, I'm used to seeing outgoing mail with addresses written in Japanese (which has three "alphabets", one of which is chinese characters). Thing is, they would put "JAPAN" at the bottom, readable to any post office in the world.

Otherwise, how would the local Japanese post office deliver them?
