India's latest customs updates offer significant relief for NRIs in UAE returning home, raising duty-free allowances and simplifying baggage rules effective February 2, 2026. Key exemptions now scale with stay abroad duration, from Rs75,000 for tourists to Rs750,000 on transfer of residence after two years, plus weight-based jewellery limits and one laptop duty-free. These changes from Union Budget 2026 ease repatriation for thousands of expats.
