BA is blatantly overcharging people tax that the Indian government does not claim from them.
Any fresh data points on this issue?
I am going through this exact problem. Unfortunately Indian BAEC have not come through for me at all. I have made endless calls. Whether UK or India BA EC or Reservations, they all act like programmed robots. And they all tell me that manual re-calculations have to be sent to the back office!
