Is possible to travel within India via Air with an International Driver's License? My Indian Passport renewal application is currently processing
8
I want to travel from Lucknow to Bengaluru for a few days while my passport application is being processed. I do not have any other Indian Government issued identification as I have never lived here. I do have a Canadian driver's license & an International Driver's Permit. Will this suffice?

If you are travelling with a train, again this link - travelonthedollar.com/2012/01/18/… tells that there is no indication of acceptance of International Drivers Permit or foreign drivers licence as a legitimate proof of ID.

I plan on travelling via air. I am INDIAN by nationality. I do have my old passport but it has a "Cancelled" stamp on it. I also have a receipt that shows that I have applied for a new one. It's just I don't have my new passport yet. I am legally allowed to drive in India if I chose to as the International Driver's Permit allows me. Can it not be considered as a valid ID?

I think yes (for Canadian Driver's Licence rather than just International Driving permit), based on GoAir's requirements, but would myself choose to check with whichever airline is chosen:
All Customers must present valid identification at check-in. The valid photo identification documents allowed are:
- Valid Passport / Driving License / Election Voter Card / PAN Card
- Photo Identity cards issued by Government, Public and reputed Private sector organizations / Photo Credit Card.
In case the Customers do not possess any of the above documents, they
should carry a relevant attested document that contains a recent
photograph of the traveling Customers.
Clearly here it is photographic identification that is significant.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the airlines don't really fuss about it as much. It's the airport security guy at the entrance that might cause a problem in my case. I even have an acknowledgement receipt of the passport application given to me by the PSK when I applied. It has a photo of mine on it as well.

@pnuts Security at Indian airports requires passengers to have a valid photo identification in addition to the ticket/boarding pass in order to access the departures area (which have check-in desks etc.)

For Air Travel you need one, i think it applies also for Buses.

I believe you will be travelling by Air.
India's national carrier, Air India's document page states
- Valid travel document for Indian citizens are
- Valid Passport,
- PAN card issued by the Income Tax department,
- Election Photo Identification Card,
- Valid Driving License,
- Photo identity card issued by the employer, being government and
reputed private sector organizations,
- Photo Credit Card,
- Children should carry their school identification cards or any other
photo
- identification proof,
- Valid birth certificates of infants,
- For travel under Concessionary fare types valid relevant IDs.
For Foreign Nationals, the only valid photo ID for travel is Passport.
So you need to have your passport for your travel.

@Vicky S Why don't you ask that (the driving part) as a separate question? It could be very interesting.

I plan on travelling via air. I am INDIAN by nationality. I do have my old passport but it has a "Cancelled" stamp on it. I also have a receipt that shows that I have applied for a new one. It's just I don't have my new passport yet. I am legally allowed to drive in India if I chose to as the International Driver's Permit allows me. Can it not be considered as a valid ID?

I even have an acknowledgement receipt of the passport application given to me by the PSK when I applied. It has a photo of mine on it as well.

@Unni "securities dont even allow you to enter inside the airport without your passport": does this mean that Indian citizens must get a passport if they want to travel domestically by air?

I believe you will be travelling by Air.
India's national carrier, Air India's document page states
- Valid travel document for Indian citizens are
- Valid Passport,
- PAN card issued by the Income Tax department,
- Election Photo Identification Card,
- Valid Driving License,
- Photo identity card issued by the employer, being government and
reputed private sector organizations,
- Photo Credit Card,
- Children should carry their school identification cards or any other
photo
- identification proof,
- Valid birth certificates of infants,
- For travel under Concessionary fare types valid relevant IDs.
For Foreign Nationals, the only valid photo ID for travel is Passport.
So you need to have your passport for your travel.

@Vicky S Why don't you ask that (the driving part) as a separate question? It could be very interesting.

How are you planning to travel? Plane, train or other?

If you are travelling with a train, again this link - travelonthedollar.com/2012/01/18/… tells that there is no indication of acceptance of International Drivers Permit or foreign drivers licence as a legitimate proof of ID.
