Discussions on the usage of the idiom "passes on" should really wait till PN puts in an appearance and suggests a "DUGIO" appropriate phrase. Smile

>>>"Pass out" is the other one referring to graduation, an Indian usage I have not heard anywhere else. Anyway "pass on" seems to be kind of a soft landing kind of thing.

>>>>"Passes on" gas makes for a weird visual. It is as though someone is offering gas and the guy says "No, I think I'll pass on that"Smile

The common usage in Indian media is "passes away". No confusion here.
