I am aware that NRI can carry goods upto Rs. 20,000 duty free and Gold ornaments upto 10 Kg with paying duty Rs. 300 per 10 gram. I was carrying 9 gram ear rings. Before this travel I made a trip to India 5 months without carrying any valuables. I voluntarily declare this to the custom officer. First the value of goods was @ Rs. 16000 only second I was ready to pay the duty amount. The custom officer and his subordinate feed me the wrong information that since I am traveling before six month, all the goods will incur duty of 35%. The duty amount told was Rs. 6800. I had arguments with him. After half hour he said pay me Rs 1500 and go. I did not carrying the INR more than 1000. I told him I am having USD. He said ok and asked me to keep that in passport and handover the passport to his subordinate for verification. He removed the USD notes and gave me passport back.
