🇮🇳 India Revises Gold Customs Rules — Big Relief for UAE NRIs
India has updated its customs baggage rules, replacing outdated value caps on gold jewellery with clear weight‑based allowances — a major win for Non‑Resident Indians (NRIs) and frequent travellers from the UAE and abroad.
Key Facts:
• New rules allow duty‑free entry of gold jewellery up to 40 g for women and 20 g for men, based only on weight, not value.
• The outdated value‑based limits have been removed, eliminating confusion and hassles at customs.
• General duty‑free allowance for travellers has also been increased — now ₹75,000 for returning residents/tourists of Indian origin (up from ₹50,000).
Expert Insight:
The revised rules modernise customs norms in line with current gold price realities, simplify airport procedures, and reduce harassment of genuine travellers carrying personal jewellery.
