Why NRIs buy gold in Dubai
Dubai adds only 5% VAT and no import duty on gold. Making charges are often lower than in Indian cities. The 22K designs also match Indian wedding tastes.
Tourists can reclaim the VAT at the airport too. That narrows the gap further against home prices. Our VAT refund guide explains the counter process.
Dubai versus India price
Dubai gold can look cheaper before you fly home. India charges import duty and GST on arrival. Those add-ons can erase part of the Dubai saving.
The real comparison is landed cost, not shelf price. Factor in duty, GST and your travel. Our guide on whether gold is cheaper in Dubai breaks this down.
Carrying gold from Dubai to India
India sets limits on duty-free gold by passenger and stay. Beyond the limit, customs duty applies on arrival. Jewellery, bars and coins are treated differently.
Always keep the Dubai invoice as proof of value. Declare gold above the free allowance honestly. Read our full Dubai to India customs guide before you travel.
