Award tickets or any tickets that use India as a stop over are not liable for this tax. So 23hrs or 23 days ot doesn't matter as long as the journey does not start in India.
That confirms what I heard about it considering the fuel surcharge to be part of the base fare. Thanks for the explanation.

Rs. 515 is the maximum.
