  Actively accreting young stellar objects show H$\alpha$ emission line in
their spectra. We present the results of survey for H$\alpha$ emission-line
stars in the star-forming region IC~5070 taken with 2-m Himalyan {\it Chandra}
Telescope. Based on the H$\alpha$ slitless spectroscopy data, we identified 131
emission-line stars in $\sim$ 0.29 square degrees area of the IC~5070 region.
Using Gaia Early Data Release 3, we estimated the mean proper motion and
parallax of the emission-line stars. We also estimated the mean distance and
reddening toward the region using the emission-line stars, that are $\sim$ 833
pc and $\sim$2 mag, respectively. By examining the locations of these stars in
the color-magnitude diagrams constructed using Gaia and PanSTARRS1 data, we
found that a majority of the H$\alpha$ emitters are young low-mass ($<$ 1.5
$M\odot$) stars. We also compared our catalog of emission-line stars with the
available young stellar catalogs and found that most of them are Class~{II}/
flat spectrum sources with the spectral type ranging from K to M. Based on the
proper motion/ parallax values and locations on the color-magnitude diagrams,
about 20 emission-line stars are flagged as non-members. The relative proper
motion of the emission-line stars with respect to the ionizing source suggest
the possibility of the `rocket effect' scenario in the remnant cloud (BRC~31).
