Civil Aviation Minister Jayant Sinha had also expressed his concerns over the issue. TOI report added that websites of majority of the airlines was carrying the Rs 3,000 flat cancellation charge which they have now tweaked. The ‘Refund of Airline Tickets to Passengers of Public Transport Undertakings’ rule came into effect from 1 August 2016.

The civil aviation authorities have received a large number of complaints from people who are opposed to such a move.
