Higher duty-free limit to gold jewellery reforms: Big relief fro UAE traverllers to India

India’s new customs baggage rules, effective February 02, 2026, significantly benefit international travellers, especially UAE residents and Indian expats. The duty-free allowance has been raised to ₹75,000 and value caps on gold jewellery are removed, replaced by weight limits. These modernised regulations aim to simplify procedures and enhance passenger convenience.
