Andaman & Nicobar Bed & Breakfast / Home Stay Establishment Scheme

The scheme will be on a bed-and-breakfast basis, and charges will have to be levied accordingly. The type of breakfast to be offered will have to be specified, the charges will have to be displayed, and the visitors will have to be informed in advance to avoid unnecessary disputes.

Once an establishment applies for classification or reclassification, it will have to be ready at all times for inspection by the Classification Committee. No requests for deferment of inspection will be entertained.

Classification will be valid for three years from the date of issue of orders or, in the case of reclassification, from the date of expiry of the last classification, provided that the application has been received within the stipulated time, i.e., 3 months before the expiry of the last classification.

The application fee payable for classification or reclassification of a B&B or homestay will be as follows, and the demand draft will be payable to the Sr. Accounts Officer, Directorate of IP&T, Port Blair.
