India allows the import of cats and dogs with an ISO microchip, a current rabies vaccination, and a DGFT/AQCS import permit (limited to two pets per passenger). There is no mandatory quarantine for compliant pets, but a USDA-endorsed health certificate and advance import documentation are essential. Most moves take 8-12 days end to end.
