29-Aug-2023 (In Customs & Central Excise Law)
What is the permissible limit of gold allowed for one person, if traveling from Dubai to India? What can we do if gold get seized? How to recover it?
Hi Sir,
Generally, import of gold is prohibited under the Baggage rules. The time spent in the foreign country matters while deciding the quantity allowance of gold.
In case of an Indian resident staying abroad returns after a year then he can bring one kg of gold in any form. But the same needs to be declared and duty @10% of the value needs to be paid in foreign exchange.
In case of gold seizure in India while traveling from Dubai a DR - Detention Receipt is made by the Customs department depending upon how the gold was concealed or smuggled in India. The remedies are available upon the circumstances of the case.
Recovery of gold is permissible upon requesting to the adjudicating authority at the Airport. Depending upon the case and the circumstances the authority has the jurisdiction to release or confiscate the gold absolutely.
