Travel to India when passports expiring within 6 months

[nsg_lists]

My Wife, Daughter, and I are traveling from Washington, Dulles to Bengaluru, India starting from the first week of August and returning in the first week of September. My Wife and I have Green cards while my Daughter is a US citizen with PIO card. Here are the issues. My Wife’s Indian passport expires around Jan 15 2012 while my Daughter’s US passport expires around Nov 10 2011. Assuming I do not get the passports extended, what are the possible problems we might face?

I have 2 possible itineraries. One via Doha using Qatar Airways and the other Option is Dulles (United Airways) – Hyderabad (United Airways) – Bengaluru (United Airways).

What do you think I should do? Has anyone gone through the same situation? Would my Daughter or Wife face issues while leaving from here or returning from India at any point (Dulles, Hyderabad, Bengaluru). Would the Airlines Qatar, United, Jet.) have any issues with the status? I checked with the US passport line and they said that they do not have any issues letting in a US citizen if the passport is expiring.

Please advise.

There will not be any problems.

Thanks for the info. I know I will not have issues at port of entry in US. I was only worried about the Airlines or Indian customs throwing arcane rules at you. Is there a document I could print out and carry with me which I could show them in such a situation.

I have confirmed for sure that my Daughter will not have any issues. But my travel agent booking my tickets mentioned that someone in the same situation as my Wife faced a problem. The person did not have any issues entering India, but while coming back. This person had a green card and the Indian passport had 3 months left. I am not sure if it was the airline/immigration officials, but they said to travel out of India that person should have at least 6 months left.
