Details of persons living in India as refugees is not maintained centrally.
Illegal migrants include foreign nationals who enter into the country on valid travel documents but have overstayed. As per information available, 56,785 foreign nationals were found to be overstaying as on 31-12-2013.
There are also reports of foreign nationals having entered the country without documents. As entry of such foreign nationals into India is clandestine and surreptitious, it is not possible to have accurate data of such illegal immigrants, living in different parts of the country.
Shri Kiren Rijiju MoS (Home) gave this information in Rajya Sabha in a written reply to a question by Shrimati Jaya Bachchan.
