I will be traveling to the US shortly from India and will be returning back. I am planning to purchase a laptop in the US and want to bring it to India. I read in the website of India customs where it says the following about "duty free" entitlement:

(ii) Rs.25000/- (in value) if Stayed abroad for more than three days (iii)
One Laptop computer (notebook computer) imported by a passenger (but not a member of the crew of a ship / aircraft) Free, if the passenger is of the age of 18 years or above.

I want to know if the laptop mentioned in (iii) comes under (ii). To be more clear, can I bring items worth 25K Plus a laptop (worth whatever)?

  • Yes, the laptop allowance is "over and above" the personal allowance, so you're free to carry other items apart from the laptop.

Personal items like laptops, iPads, phones, etc are fairly easy to get through Indian customs as long as you're bringing in a small number, and it doesn't seem like you're going to sell them to someone. Since most passengers generally have a laptop, a phone or two, and maybe a tablet, you can bring these without being stopped at customs.
