Bringing gold to India: the airport rules
The current verified India rule records a jewellery allowance for an eligible passenger who meets the residence-abroad condition: up to 40 g for a female passenger and 20 g for another eligible passenger. Bullion is not included in that jewellery allowance. A separate conditional route for up to 1 kg is not a general allowance; eligibility, declaration and payment conditions must be checked separately.
This is a shopping-planning summary, not a customs eligibility or duty decision. Check the current notification for the exact passenger, journey and product form.

Tourist tips
🇮🇳 India
- Check the current BIS hallmarking rule and verify the article's identifiers using the official BIS guidance or app before purchase.
- The GoldJaanch reference rate is national; an individual shop quote can differ.
- Use the Bill Calculator as an estimate and compare it with an itemised shop quote.
🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia
- Compare the same purity and use a tax-inclusive result only when the page marks its statutory rule active.
- 21K and 22K are different products; check the fineness printed on the quote.
- Ask for itemised making, stone and fixed charges; no universal souq range is assumed here.
