According to a report by newsagency ANI of the Aviation Ministry, the offences have been categorized in three levels - Level one constitutes disruptive behaviour like physical gestures. Level two will include physically abusive behavior like pushing, kicking, and sexual harassment.

After which the process will be completed in the next ten days," Minister of state of civil aviation Jayant Sinha reportedly said. The draft was made public by Aviation Minister Ashok G. Raju and his Deputy Jayant Sinha.
