If you are referring to the first part of my quote that you cited, then even Jet Airways has gotten wise with the following addendum:
Indian Rupee fare – Applicable only to Indian Residents and foreigners holding an Indian resident permit. Foreigners may be required to produce a copy of the resident permit on request at the time of check-in.
... actually the law is a little broader than what was put in language on various airline websites in India as indicated by the general example above from jetairways.com
If you are referring to the latter part of my quote, certain states in India have a special status under the Indian Constitution, amongst these Jammu & Kashmir (& Ladakh). The respective laws at the national and state level there enable persons to be "state subjects" of J&K and yet not necessarily be an Indian national; vice versa, most all Indians cannot be "state subjects" of Kashmir. This is manifested in various ways including those of "property rights" rules applicable to immovable property, etc whereby "non-state subjects" cannot acquire immovable property or otherwise become state subjects (except in certain very limited circumstances). The "gap" that is present currently in the laws there relate to the fact that "non-Indian" "state subjects" of Kashmir cannot legally access J&K unless the Indian External Affairs ministry grants a non-Indian "Kashmiri state subject" a visa and/or the Home Ministry approves certain items to enable a non-Indian "Kashmiri state subject" access to enter India.
