Good news for NRI's and frequent travelers for foreign countries from India Government of India plans to More duty-free imported goods cap to be raised from 25k onwards :D

Mumbai: Passengers bringing imported goods to India may soon have some
relief from Customs duty. Currently, passengers can bring goods worth
Rs 25,000 free of duty. Customs department is planning to increase the
amount.
   Though no hike has been decided yet, chief customs commissioner,
Vineet Kumar said on Wednesday that they have requested the government
to increase the permissible limit or amount.
   "Branded items are expensive these days. Even if people buy a few
things, they exceed the permissible amount," said Kumar. The decision
comes at a time when many celebrities, including Dia Mirza, were
detained when they failed to declare their dutiable purchases abroad.
Customs is also planning to install boards at the airport so that they
grab passengers' attention and can instruct and educate them to follow
Customs rules. A traveller's charter, issued by the Customs
department, says that the baggageof international passengers will be
opened only after explaining the reasons. It will be done in their
presence. "We will help in repacking baggage if we have made you
unpack them," the charter states. "We will explain the reasons if we
need to search you," it added.
   The charter states that investigating officers will explain the
legal provisions and passengers' rights and obligations. It also
states that no seized document will be withheld beyond 60 days except
if needed for investigation or other proceedings. All passenger
complaints will be acknowledged and replied to within 30 working days.
