Indian tourist visa back?!

I have been reading that India is finally opening up for tourists. But apparently only for chartered flights from 15th October and normal flights from mid November.. Is that everyone else's understanding as well?

Re: Immigration advise ILR University Fees

Heres'a an idea: is it possible for you to change universities? If so, show your new ILR status to the new university and ask if you transfer to them will they accept you as a home student.

This combined with the fact that they have visited twice in the last 4 years (would have been more if it wasn't for covid) Keep in mind that you don't want their visits to be too frequent.
