DGCA New Rules 2025: The government is planning to give air travelers a gift. The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has released its new draft guidelines, which state that passengers will now be able to cancel or modify their tickets within 48 hours of booking.
No additional fees will be charged for this. If this proposed DGCA rule is approved, it will directly benefit air travelers who wish to change or cancel their tickets in an emergency. These individuals will no longer suffer financial losses.
How will the new rules benefit?
The DGCA will provide air travelers with a free modification or cancellation window up to 48 hours after booking their ticket. This means that if a passenger changes their plans within 48 hours of booking, they will not incur any additional charges.
The DGCA has also directed airlines to promptly refund the amount of tickets that have been cancelled or modified.
Why are these changes being made?
The DGCA has frequently received complaints from travelers that airlines charge substantial fees for canceled tickets. Several consumer organizations have also complained about this. The DGCA has made this decision keeping passengers’ interests in mind.
This decision may help maintain a balance between passengers and airlines. Passengers will also have time to cancel or modify their tickets, which could reduce complaints. Additionally, under the new guidelines, the refund process is also planned to be expedited, which will significantly help passengers.
