Last Update: March 21, 2025

Detailed information about Is duty free allowance to India per person or family?

According to Indian customs regulations, the duty-free allowance is per person and cannot be pooled with another passenger's allowance, meaning each individual has their own limit on duty-free goods they can bring in, regardless of family membership. 

Key points to remember:

  • Individual limit: Each passenger must declare their own duty-free items within their designated allowance. 
  • No family pooling: You cannot combine the duty-free allowances of multiple family members. 
  • Transfer of residence exception: If you are transferring your residence to India, there may be specific rules regarding higher allowances for personal and household goods, but these are still typically calculated per person.
