Hi friends,

I am going for vacation next month to Chennai.I recently came to know that Only 8grams of gold is allowed per person..the news is not so clear to me and now I am so much worried that I have gold more than 8grams...

Has anybody Traveled yet or is Traveling shortly to Chennai..Please share your advise..I don t have a locker to put my Jewellery...It would be very helpful if you just exactly let me know what is the exact thing??

Thanks in Advance

Waiting for your earliest reply

According to rule... you can take ony Rs 25,000 worth of goods anything above that is liable for duty depending on rate.

Liquor 2 bottles per person & 1 Laptop

When the rate of gold goes up... maybe you jumped the limit...

I am guarantee for the news and its fake one.

You have some limit to take gold from here and its not that 8 gram only. One of my friend used to buy 40 gm minimum and she will travel to chennai offently.

rule is 20000 INR worth gold for women and 10000INR worth for men.....its not strictly implemented at the moment but depends on the customs officer...try not to show off what you are wearing and it shud be ok
