Any payments in excess of such overall limit will not be accepted at the airport counters, under any circumstances.

Customer’s GSTIN

A Customer holding a GSTIN may itself or through its representative or Travel Agent provide details of the GSTIN held by him/her to IndiGo, at the commencement of the process of Booking and before generation of the PNR. A Customer shall be solely responsible for validity and correctness of the GSTIN in the Booking.

If a Customer has not mentioned the GSTIN in the Booking or has mentioned an invalid or incorrect GSTIN, IndiGo will not be held responsible and will not accommodate any request for inclusion or change in the Customer GSTIN in the Booking. The applicable GST will be charged to a Customer based on the Customer’s GSTIN and the Airline GSTIN relevant for the Booking. Only one Customer GSTIN can be mentioned against one PNR.

All Customers, including Customers accompanied by Infants or Children, must present any valid identification document set out in Clause 5.1 of the Conditions of Carriage, in original, at the time of check-in.

All Customers must ensure that they have valid travel documents as required by the laws of the country of destination.

Further, a failure to check-in for a flight at least 75 (seventy-five) minutes or any other time period prescribed by IndiGo, prior to the flight’s scheduled time of departure will result in retention of the No-Show Charges by IndiGo, and the Customer being declared a “No-Show”, and the Customer will not be entitled to a refund or a Credit Shell in lieu of the Tariff except for a refund of Airport Charges collected by IndiGo from the Customer. The refund of Airport Charges shall be made to the Customers who specifically request for such refund from IndiGo.

In case of Booking 2 (two) or more Sectors under different PNRs, it is the Customer’s responsibility to ensure that there is a sufficient time-interval between two flights, as their carriage may involve certain unavoidable circumstances or factors including a change in aircraft, flight delays or cancellation, issues in relation to Checked-in Baggage, operational issues or change in carriers at a Stopover. If a Customer misses his/her connecting flight due to such circumstances or factors, in a preceding Flight Segment, IndiGo shall not be liable for such missed connection, in any manner whatsoever.

Customers may check-in for their flights online before arriving at the airport for any scheduled departure.

Customers can do a web check-in on the Website between 24 (twenty-four) hours up to 75 (seventy-five) minutes prior to the scheduled departure of their flights. It shall be the duty of Customers to ensure that the Customer’s Checked-in Baggage displays a Baggage Identification Tag at least 75 (seventy-five) minutes prior to the scheduled time of departure of the Customer’s flight. Failure to check-in for a flight or failure to ensure that Checked-in Baggage displays a Baggage Identification Tag at least 75 (seventy-five) minutes prior to the scheduled time of departure will result in retention of the No-Show Charges by IndiGo, and Customers being declared a “No-Show”.

Customers must be present at the boarding gate no later than the time specified at the time they check-in or any subsequent announcements made at the airport. Mere check-in or issuance of a boarding pass does not guarantee boarding unless a Customer adheres to all the requirements including the timelines mentioned in relation to boarding in the Conditions of Carriage. A Customer understands and acknowledges that such announcements may only be made in the event of a change of the boarding gate or change in the schedule of boarding and may be made orally through the airport sound systems, or through display/ notifications on the digital screens placed at airports by the airport authorities.
