Feb 10, 2023 at 18:39 comment added badjohn @Hilmar I would not say that "should" is very different from "shall". It is commonly used as a more polite form but I would not interpret as much weaker. I would not want to fly several thousands of kilometres and rely on arguing that "should" was optional to be allowed in. Especially not so in India where polite forms are used more frequently than the UK or US.

Feb 8, 2023 at 7:49 comment added Traveller It ‘should’ be ok as long as nothing happens to prevent the OP leaving India on the planned date or by the passport expiry date.
Feb 8, 2023 at 7:31 comment added Hilmar "Should" and "shall/must" are VERY different words in this context. Either it's optional (should) or an actual requirement (shall)
