Important!
Do we (Indian Citizens) need a passport to travel within India?
No. You do not need to have a passport for domestic flights. But, you need to carry one photo identity card (Voter ID, PAN Card, Driving Licence, etc..) It is only required to validate that you are the same person for which the ticket has been booked.
