Seems to be right. It says that on their website.

And what do you know? You don't need an India-based proxy server anymore...you can book the Jet Airways INR fares at the URL below:

If you purchase a cheaper indian ticket, you maybe asked for a proof or residency by an overzealous airline agent. If you can't show that, you will be asked to cough up the fare difference.
The same applies for hotels. Do the trick only if you are willing to take the risk.
A friend booked a couple of 9W through the link above. Looked Indian, and was not asked for any proof of residency at checkin. YMMV.
