Introduction and Definitions

The carriage of a passenger (“Customer”) and baggage (“Baggage”) is subject to IndiGo's regulations relating to the conditions of Non-International Carriage (Passenger and Baggage) Regulations 1992 (the “Regulations”),  which are framed in accordance with The Carriage by Air Act, 1972 and the Notification regarding application of the carriage which is non-international.

The liability of InterGlobe Aviation Limited (“IndiGo”) for damage sustained in the event of the death or wounding of a Customer or any other bodily injury suffered by a Customer or any loss or damage suffered by his/her registered baggage during the course of carriage by air will be governed by the provisions of sections 4.5.6 and the rules contained in the Second Schedule of Carriage by Air Act, 1972 with certain exceptions, adaptations, modifications, etc. as notified in the Notifications published by Ministry of Civil Aviation, Government of India, as amended from time to time.
IndiGo reserves the right to vary, amend or alter these Regulations at any time without any prior notice or liability.
Please note that personal data given to IndiGo is for the purpose of making a reservation for carriage and for obtaining ancillary services that IndiGo may offer from time to time.  For these purposes, the Customer authorizes IndiGo to retain such data and to transmit such data to its own offices or third parties involved in the provision of such services.
The term “Flight Segment” as used herein means a single take-off and landing; for example, Delhi – Guwahati on IndiGo Flight 201.  The term “Sector” as used herein means one or more consecutive Flight Segments having the same flight number; for example, Delhi-Guwahati-Imphal on IndiGo Flight 201.

Making a Reservation and Payment for Travel

IndiGo is a “ticket-less” airline. An itinerary does not constitute a contract of carriage. The booking in IndiGo's database (the “Booking”) is the primary record of carriage and in the event of any differences between the itinerary and the booking in IndiGo's database; the database booking will be the reference point and shall prevail.

Your booking becomes confirmed (i.e., it becomes a “Confirmed Booking”) when IndiGo or its authorized agent receives your payment and issues you a valid confirmation number (called a “Confirmation Number” or “PNR Number”).  Please take note of this Confirmation Number, as it may be required for future reference.

Components of the Amount Paid to IndiGo for Travel: Basic Fare, Surcharges and Fees.

The total fare payable to IndiGo per ticket, per passenger, per sector includes three components:  the basic fare, surcharges that are imposed by IndiGo, and fees imposed by the Government. Please note that these fare components may undergo a change at any time without notice.

Currently IndiGo’s ‘Surcharges’ include an Airline fuel charge and a transaction surcharge.

  • The Airline fuel charge will vary depending on the sector, booking date and travel date. 
  • The transaction surcharge depends on how the booking was made or the origin airport.  For bookings made at an IndiGo airport counter or by using IndiGo’s call center, there is a fee of Rs. 50 per passenger per sector. For flights departing from Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad or Cochin the fee of Rs. 50 per passenger per sector applies for all bookings.
“Fees” consists of a ‘passenger service fee’ (PSF) per passenger per sector as imposed by the Government of India . . IndiGo collects the PSF from the passengers as applicable, at the relevant airport on the date of making the booking and remits the same to the Government of India.

Additionally, IndiGo collects a User Development Fee (UDF) as imposed by the relevant airport authority at certain airports in India.  The UDF as applicable at the time of making the booking shall apply to the ticket.

Please note that IndiGo fares, including any component thereof (basic fares, surcharges and fees), may be updated without notice; however, once you have already made a booking, the fare will not be changed with respect to that booking.  When you make your booking using IndiGo’s website or through our call center or airports or authorized travel agents, you will be notified a break - up all of these components of your fare so that you can see how they make up the total fare that you pay.

Please also note that some travel partners or services may require additional fees not mentioned above; for example, when you make a booking through an authorized travelagent, the travel agent collects an additional fee of 6% of the basic fare and the applicable surcharges and Fees.

TOP

Changes/ Cancellations/ Refunds

Once a booking is made, the basic fare and all IndiGo surcharges paid are non-refundable.  If you do not check in for a flight at least 30 minutes prior to its scheduled departure time, you will forfeit this total amount.   You are, however, entitled to a refund of the Government of India PSF amount and the UDF if applicable.
However, IndiGo allows cancellations or changes to be made subject to the following:

  • Changes/Cancellations to booking must be made at least two hours prior to scheduled departure time in the booking.
  • IndiGo charges a fee of Rs. 750 per passenger per sector for making changes/cancellations.  This fee will be deducted from the total clubbed amount of the basic fare and IndiGo surcharges, and the remainder is refundable to you (in the case of cancellation) or is applied to your changed booking (in the case of a change).
  • IndiGo does not allow name changes to a booking already made.
In the case of changes to a booking already made, the residual amount (i.e., after the deduction of the Rs 750 per passenger per sector fee mentioned above) will be applied to the changed itinerary.  Changes to the itinerary will be made at prevailing prices at the time of the change.  If the residual amount is less than the price of the changed itinerary, the customer will be required to pay the difference. 

In the case of a changed itinerary where the residual amount is greater than the price of the new itinerary, or in the case of a cancellation of a booking already made, a Customer will receive the balance amount (i.e., after the deduction of the Rs 750 per passenger per sector fee mentioned above and the cost of the new itinerary, if applicable) as a credit in the Customer's name, which can be used for future travel on IndiGo for up to one year from the date of the cancellation.

Please note that IndiGo bookings are not transferable.  If someone other than the customer entitled to be carried thereunder attempts to travel, or to obtain a credit or a refund in connection therewith, IndiGo shall not be liable to the customer so entitled if in good faith it provides carriage or makes a refund to the said person.
