In case of delays of more than 2 hours or Preponement of the flight by more than 1 hour, customers are entitled for a full refund or re-booking onto an alternative IndiGo flight at no additional cost subject to availability. In the special case in which a subsequent portion of an IndiGo flight is cancelled while a Customer is already in transit, a Customer shall have the right to choose to remain at the transit station and accept a partial refund for the portion of the flight not completed; or to return to the point of origin and receive a refund; or a credit for future travel on IndiGo; or re-booking onto an alternative IndiGo flight at no additional cost subject to availability. Any compensation arising out of cancellation or delay of flights will be processed as per DGCA guideline outlined in Civil Aviation Requirement, Section - 3, Series M Part IV. Passengers who have not provided valid contact information at the time of flight booking may not be entitled for any compensation.

In case of delay or cancellation of a flight operated as part of the Connected Segments/Route scheme, the following shall apply: 

• In case of delay or cancellation of the connecting flight at the point of origin which leads to the possibility of a missed connection at the point of transit, the passenger shall have right to choose a refund, or a credit for future travel on IndiGo, or re-booking onto an alternative IndiGo flight at no additional cost subject to availability. 
• In case of a delay or cancellation of the connecting flight at the point of transit, IndiGo will, at its discretion and subject to availability of seats, first offer the passenger the option to travel on the next IndiGo flight, or that of another airline or if either options cannot materialize, then at its discretion, provide lodging for overnight stay to the passenger at the point of transit, ground transportation to and fro the airport and hotel and dinner.

IndiGo will not be liable for any loss incurred due to flight cancellation or rescheduling, and passengers will not be provided any additional benefits.
