Same goes for Iberia.... this is very frustrating... looks like BA is my only booking option at the moment

Award miles, taxes and fees

Bangalore, India to London, United Kingdom42,500 miles per personTotal miles42,500 miles per personAdult (per passenger)CARRIER-IMPOSED FEES£176.30 GBPPASSENGER SERVICE CHARGE (INDIA)£4.70 GBPUSER DEVELOPMENT FEE EXCEPT AIR INDIA (INDIA)£7.50 GBPTotal£188.50 GBP per person

comparing to the TFC breakdown on BA it seems the difference is the K3 component which is the Indian GST. See the thread I linked to earlier - it’s not clear this should be charged on reward bookings.

just to note you can’t transfer miles between BAEC and AA
