Passengers departing on international and domestic flights from the IGI Airport here will have to pay UDF of Rs 1300 and Rs 200 per head respectively from March one, the Lok Sabha was informed on Thursday.
Passengers will have to pay the UDF for a period of 36 months to bridge the funding gap of Rs 1827 crore, Civil Aviation Minister Praful Patel said in a written reply.
"Funds collected through the levy can be utilised only for the construction of such aeronautical assets which will be transferred by DIAL (Delhi International Airport Limited) to AAI upon completion of lease period," Patel said.
