No Custom Duties on Consumer Electronics Incl Mobile Phones valued upto Rs 50,000


Recommended Posts

They may have raised the limit, but I think there are restrictions on the amount of foreign currency that can be spent by Indians. I don't think we are technically allowed to spend 50000rs worth of foreign currency without going on a foreign trip or without proper approvals.

I could be wrong, though.

Until you are using ur credit card I don't think any such limit implies.

so we can order mobile phone, gpu, external hard disk, monitor from newegg/amazon directly and if it falls within 50k there will not be any import tax/duty right?

Technically yes, though I will wait for entire list of allowed goods to be published.

I hope you words become true but i don't think it is cause what they meant was Now we don't need licence (iec) to import personal items upto 50k, previously it was capped to 2k only. This is nothing to do with custom duties... You have to pay custom duties even if you order something under 2000 INR. Only exception is GIFT upto 10k.
