I called IndiGo and they said that my luggage would be checked all the way through. However, their terms have recently been changed (looks like it changed since I booked) to this:

10.2 In cases where the Customer undertakes travel on the Connected Segments, at the time of check-in, the Baggage of such connecting Customers will have to be collected at the end of each leg and re-checked again. The Customers will be provided with two boarding cards - one for the flight taken from the point of origin till the point of transit and other from the point of transit until the final destination.

So I will have a boarding pass for both flights - also when I arrive in BOM, but what about my luggage. If they don't transfer my luggage, I will have to do it myself and that would require me to go through immigration thus requiring a visa - or??

What do you people say?
if i was in your place i would just get a transit visa to be on the safe side....
