You likely don't need this permit

Citizens of Nepal and Bhutan entering India by land or air over the Nepal or Bhutan border do not need a passport or visa. They must carry an accepted ID, such as a Nepalese or Bhutanese passport, citizenship certificate or voter ID card. A passport is needed when arriving from somewhere other than Nepal or Bhutan, and a visa is needed when arriving from China, Macau, Hong Kong, Pakistan or the Maldives.

Every report is personal: a document check is built from one person's own answers and documents, so two people on this route can get different results. Run your own check rather than relying on a friend's or relative's; each person is responsible for their own application.
