how much gold is allowed from dubai to india?
Hi kashish,
When you travel from Dubai to India, you can bring a limited amount of gold without paying extra duty. Travellers can bring 1 kg gold after staying for 6 months in baggage but need to pay custom duty.
The amount of gold allowed from dubai to india duty free for men is up to 20 grams of gold worth a maximum of ₹50,000, for women, it’s up to 40 grams worth ₹1,00,000, for children under 15 years of age under 40 grams of gold but must have ID proofs.
Passengers travelling with gold need to have all the documentation required related to the purchase of gold. If you carry more than this, you’ll need to declare it at the airport and pay customs duty based on the weight and value.
Men carrying gold exceeds 20 grams to 50 grams, 3 percent of custom duty is applied, between 50 to 100 grams of gold is 6% and above 100 grams is 10% of custom duty applied.
Women and children buying gold exceeds 40 to 100 grams then 3%, between 100 to 200 grams is 6% and above 200 grams is 10% is applied.
So, if you’re planning to bring gold from Dubai, it’s best to keep it within the allowed limit or be ready to pay the applicable duty.
