The Ministry of Civil Aviation has warned international passengers about fake websites claiming to provide Air Suvidha 2.0 services. Some fraudulent portals reportedly direct users to payment pages and ask for personal or travel-related information. The ministry has confirmed that passengers can submit the official Self-Declaration Form free of charge.<\/span><\/p>\n

Government Issues Public Advisory<\/b><\/h2>\n

The Civil Aviation Ministry issued the advisory on July 25, 2026, after learning that unauthorized websites were copying the official Air Suvidha 2.0 platform. These fake pages may look similar to the government portal and ask users to share personal, payment or travel-related information.<\/span><\/p>\n

Passengers should check the complete website address before submitting any details. They should also avoid portals that demand payment for completing the Self-Declaration Form.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Official Service Is Free<\/b><\/h3>\n

The government provides the online form at no cost. Passengers should avoid websites that request payment to submit the form or claim to offer the official service. They should never enter card or banking details on unauthorized pages.<\/span><\/p>\n

Official Air Suvidha portal:<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Type the address carefully or access the portal through trusted government, airport or airline channels.<\/p>\n

What Is Air Suvidha 2.0?<\/b><\/h3>\n

Air Suvidha 2.0 is an online health self-declaration platform for international arrivals in India. The Ministry of Civil Aviation and Delhi International Airport Limited launched the upgraded system on June 25, 2026. It allows eligible passengers to submit their health and journey details through a contactless and paperless process before arriving in India.<\/span><\/p>\n

The platform also helps health officials, immigration authorities and surveillance agencies coordinate passenger screening. This enables officials to identify people who may require additional health checks at an Indian airport.<\/span><\/p>\n

When Should Passengers Complete the Form?<\/b><\/h3>\n

International arrivals can submit the Self-Declaration Form up to 24 hours before landing in India. The government advises passengers to complete it before boarding their flight or during online check-in. After submission, they should download and save a copy.<\/span><\/p>\n

They may need to show the document at the International Travel Health Desk or immigration counter after landing. Since health and entry requirements can change, passengers should review the latest government and airline instructions before departure.<\/span><\/p>\n
