They must also upload a negative RT-PCR test that was conducted within 72 hours of the travel date.
Alternatively, they can also upload a certificate confirming they have received both vaccine doses.(Option for only some countries)

On arrival, in addition to thermal screening, passengers selected at random (up to two per cent of total passengers per flight) will be asked to undergo RT-PCR tests
Passengers will be selected by the airline and must "preferably" be from different countries.
Passengers found to be symptomatic will be immediately quarantined and tested
All other passengers must self-monitor for 14 days for any Covid symptoms, the Health Ministry said.
The new guidelines will come into effect from Monday, February 14, the Union Health Ministry said.
