Prior to this, IndiGo had also introduced a service fee of Rs 100 for check-in at the airport counters from 17 October.

“We encourage all passengers to web check-in as per the Government directive, using our website or mobile app. The check-in fee at the airport counters is applicable on all bookings made, starting from October 17, 2020,” IndiGo had said.

The development comes after the Ministry of Civil Aviation (MoCA) made the web check-in mandatory for all passengers to reduce touch-points at the airports.
