New Delhi: A new immigration form bearing additional fields for declaration of prohibited and dutiable goods for passengers flying into India has come into effect.
An Indian citizen would now need to fill up the immigration form only when he or she goes out of the country. Indian citizens returning from abroad are not required to fill the immigration form, which came into force from Saturday.
Passengers coming to India will have to declare Indian currency exceeding Rs 10,000 being carried by them in the new 'Indian Customs Declaration Form'.
This form has an additional field for declaration of baggage (including hand baggage).
Travellers will be declaring any prohibited articles, gold jewellery (over free allowance) and gold bullion. Passengers will also have to give details of countries visited in the prior six days.
