... unfortunately they seem to charge a higher fare for non-Indians than Indians. Although, legally, it can be done on the basis of residency and not citizenship.

Can anyone say PIL?
I don't know specifically about Kingfisher but the higher charges are for non-residents and NOT non-citizens (got into a heated argument with an IA staff member years ago when I first experienced this daylight robbery).

I know that Indian citizens living abroad pay higher fare (legally - of course, may figured out ingenious ways to hoodwink this) and non-citizens living in India pay the lower fare (legally but they have to go the extra mile of showing proof of residence in India).

It is the stupid rule imposed by Indian Government from the socialist era of fleeing the brave and the few tourist that dare step into the country.
