Beware of fraudulent Air Suvidha 2.0 websites: Indian govt warns travellers

| @indiablooms | Jul 26, 2026, at 10:33 pm

The Ministry of Civil Aviation has warned passengers against fraudulent websites and portals impersonating Air Suvidha 2.0, saying they are misleading travellers by redirecting them to payment gateways.

In a statement, the Ministry clarified that Air Suvidha 2.0 services are provided free of cost, and no payment is required to submit the mandatory Self-Declaration Form.

"Passengers are advised that Air Suvidha 2.0 services are provided free of cost, and no payment is required for submission of the Self-Declaration Form," the Ministry said.

The Ministry urged passengers to carefully verify the website URL before sharing any personal or travel-related information and cautioned them against making payments on unauthorised websites claiming to offer Air Suvidha 2.0 services.

"Passengers are requested to use only the official portal and rely on official Government communications for authentic information," the statement added.

The advisory comes amid reports of fake websites attempting to exploit travellers by posing as the official Air Suvidha 2.0 portal.

According to the travel advisory issued in June 2026 by the Directorate General of Health Services (Dte. GHS), Government of India, all air passengers arriving in India are required to fill out the Self-Declaration Form on the Air Suvidha 2.0 portal in view of the ongoing Ebola disease outbreak.

The Ministry reiterated that travellers should access only the official Air Suvidha 2.0 portal for submitting the form and should not pay any fee to third-party websites or intermediaries claiming to provide the service.
