Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. You can carry one pepper spray canister (maximum 100 ml) in your check-in baggage on all domestic flights in India. It is not permitted in cabin or hand baggage.

It will be confiscated at the security checkpoint and you will not get it back. Always pack pepper spray in your check-in suitcase, never in your carry-on or purse.
