I have an international flight this Friday (25 Sep 2020) from San Francisco to Delhi. The airline is Air India. I am trying to do web check in (and health undertaking) on Air India website but it fails with the error - passport not valid for the required minimum duration. My passport expiry date is 14 March 2021, less than 6 months left for expiry.

Does the minimum of six months passport validity rule applies to Indian citizens travelling to India? I think it should be fine for Indian citizens coming back to India with less than 6 months left on their passport. I will be renewing my passport in India.

The six months passport validity rule does not apply to Indian citizens traveling to India.

My son travelled to Delhi from Chicago on Dec 11' 2021 and his passport was valid till April 2022. He has an OCI card. The passport has to be valid for the duration of stay per the United Website and that is what the agent asked us at the gate. No issues with immigration.
