In your form , simply replace

<div class="checkbox">
     @Html.EditorFor(model => model.IsActive)
     @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.IsActive, "", new { @class = "text-danger" })
</div>

with

<input type="hidden" name="IsActive" value="true" />

Or you can use the Html helper method

@Html.HiddenFor(s=>s.IsActive)

Now make sure you set the default value to whatever you want in the GET action.

But, If you want a default value to be saved, Do it in your HttpPost action, No need to keep the Hidden field in the form (Users can update the hidden field value using browser dev tools)

[HttpPost]
[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
public ActionResult Edit([Bind(Include="ClientId,ClientName,PrimaryContactName,EmailId,
                       PrimaryContact,ModifiedBy,ParentCompany")] TP_InternalClients model)
{
        if (ModelState.IsValid)
        {
            model.IsAcive = true ; 
            db.Entry(model).State = EntityState.Modified;
            db.SaveChanges();
            return RedirectToAction("Index");
        }
        return View(tP_InternalClients);
}

Remember, the best way to prevent overposting is to use a view model with only those properties needed for the view.
