Duty-free shops are outlets set up at international airports, serving passengers either arriving or departing from international flights. These stores allow outgoing travellers to shop from a wide variety of luxurious international brands without being taxed locally.Â
You can purchase select items without paying a duty (tax) so long as you transport them across international borders for consumption. As per customs regulations, only passengers who have an international boarding pass and valid passport are eligible to shop duty-free.Â
The duty-free allowances vary from country to country, so when you purchase an item duty-free, you also need to ensure that the country you are entering, allows such items at particular quantities duty-free.
If you have any dutiable goods when entering any international airport in India, you must pass through the Red Channel to declare your items.
According to the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs, Government of India, the customs regulations and duty-free allowances are as follows:

an Indian resident/foreigner residing in India/a tourist of Indian origin and arriving from any country other than Nepal, Bhutan and Myanmar | 2 litres per passport when you are arriving in India. | 100 cigarettes, 25 cigars or 125g of tobacco when you arrive in India. | Â The total value of duty-free purchases cannot exceed Rs 50,000. Â |
When departing from any airport in India, please check the customs allowance per your destination country.

Although you can purchase all product categories available at duty shops, including liquors, chocolates, perfumes and cosmetics, tobacco, fashion accessories and electronics while arriving and departing at any airport in India.
