>From what I have observed, the airport tax is included in your ticket.
However, since our brethren are always looking to make a fast buck, I was asked at Bombay airport to fork over Rs 500 in departure taxes. When I refused, saying that it was already paid, they lowered the "tax" to Rs 200. Smelling a rat, along with the fact that they were not asking any of the other passengers for the same tax, I stood my ground and asked them to show me a government issued letter authorizing the tax. They then relented and acted as nice people doing me a favor and let me fly. My wife and aunt, who also left from Bombay, were not as lucky. They were threatened of being disbarred from flying and were stripped of $25 a piece. Other relatives of mine who left from New Delhi reported no such "tax" requests.
