Flying back to India in 2026? Your duty-free allowance just got an upgrade and the rules are clearer than before. 
 
Let me break it down for you.
Hi, this is Chandralekha and I love talking about money.
 
💡 What exactly changed
👉 General duty-free limit increased to ₹75,000 for eligible passengers
👉 One laptop per adult passenger is duty-free and separate from this limit
👉 Jewellery rules now focus on weight limits instead of value caps
👉 Declarations are becoming digital with faster, risk-based checks
 
💡 How the allowance actually works
👉 Duty applies only on value above ₹75,000, not on your full purchase
👉 Each passenger has an individual limit, families cannot pool allowances
👉 Transfer of Residence benefits may allow higher duty-free limits if you are relocating permanently
 
💡 What still attracts duty
👉 TVs, bullion, excess alcohol, tobacco, and restricted items remain taxable
 
Save this before your next international trip.
