New policy for .IN & .BHARAT domains — effective immediately
India’s domain authority NIXI has introduced new rules for .IN, third-level .IN, and .BHARAT domains. The goal is to ensure only real Indian individuals and businesses own these domains. You don’t need to do anything right now — but during your next registration, renewal, transfer, or update, new steps will apply.
Only individuals or entities with India as the registrant country can register or transfer .IN domains.
Disposable or temporary email addresses are not accepted.
Registrations using VPNs or masked IPs will fail.
Email and identity verification are mandatory within 15 days.
Switch off your VPN before visiting domains.nettigritty.com. If the VPN is on, registration will fail.
Use Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, or your company email. Temporary email addresses will not be accepted.
Complete email + eKYC verification within 15 days. Otherwise, your domain will be put on hold.
Your domain will be suspended — your website and email may stop working until verification is completed.
No — existing domains continue to work normally. These rules apply only during future updates or registrations.
