GC holder - Coming back to US from India with 3 months passport validity - Any Issue

[Rituraz]

Hello all,
I am planning to travel to India on May 21st, 2024 due to a family medical emergency and will be returning in US on June 21st, 2024.
I am a permanent resident of US (Green Card holder) and I do have Indian passport which is valid until October 5th, 2024.
So my question is
Can I travel to India and come back to US on my current passport? Please note that my Indian passport validity is less than six months.
and I was told that Since India is a member of Six Month Club so India citizens are exempt from the Six Month rule.

I would like to confirm it that I will not face any issues while traveling back to the US from India. Please share your experience if anyone had similar situation

Many Thanks in advance
Ritu

Shouldn't be. Indian passports can be extended in the US too, so not sure if the immigration team would have to check that.

As far as the US government is concerned, green card holders do not need any passport at all to enter the US, and the US government allows airlines to board green card holders for travel to the US without a passport. So obviously there is no requirement that there be a certain length of validity in the passport, and not even a requirement that the passport be unexpired. Of course, the airline can have its own requirements, and Indian exit controls might have their own ideas, but for that you will have to ask them.
