1The Booking Contract

By paying an advance deposit or full package price through Yellow Ribbon Travels ("Company", "we", "us"), you ("Client", "Passenger", "You") confirm that you accept these Terms & Conditions on behalf of yourself and all persons named in the booking. A booking is legally binding only once we have issued a formal Booking Confirmation Voucher or Tax Invoice.

2Pricing, Currency, GST & TCS Compliance

• Currency: Tour packages are quoted in Indian Rupees (INR) for Indian residents and applicable local currencies (USD, AED, GBP, EUR) for our international branch clients.
• Goods & Services Tax (GST): Applicable GST (5% for tour packages without input tax credit or statutory rates) is levied on all travel bookings in accordance with Government of India regulations.
• Tax Collected at Source (TCS): In compliance with Section 206C(1G) of the Indian Income Tax Act, TCS applies to overseas tour packages purchased by Indian residents under the Liberalised Remittance Scheme (LRS). PAN verification is mandatory.
• Price Fluctuations: Quotes remain subject to exchange rate variations, airline fuel surcharges, or statutory tax changes until full payment has been received and tickets/vouchers have been ticketed.
