Hi,
I hope you are doing well. Regarding your questions about Air India concessions, it is helpful to note that Air India was originally a public sector institution controlled by the Government of India. This historical background is why they have traditionally provided fare concessions for various groups, including Bharat Ratna awardees, Members of Parliament, and persons with disabilities. Because the government maintained management control and subsidized these fares, many of these provisions have continued even following the airline's privatization. In contrast, airlines such as IndiGo are entirely private entities. The government does not exercise the same level of control over their pricing structures, and they generally treat all passengers as customers without specific subsidies. Consequently, we should not necessarily expect private carriers to offer the same concessions provided by a government-linked entity like Air India. In terms of availing these benefits, these concessions are typically available in India if you purchase your tickets offline at an Air India office. This often results in the best available base fare, though please keep in mind that applicable taxes remain the same.
