It's Rs. 200 for Cleartrip, not sure about other portals.
9w recently cut commissions for TAs from 3% to 1%, and maybe AI did as well (not sure of that). so, all the TAs have decided to impose this convenience fee of 200-225 bucks to save their margins, however, only on domestic full service carriers.
I wish people would not use words such as bucks to refer to their currency on an IBB with international audience, mostly American, whose currency is the real "buck".
At first I thought you meant US$.
