In Ahmedabad , Indian expatriates have lambasted archaic rules that restrict the amount of gold, cash and baggage they can carry when flying home.Non-resident Indian travellers are subject to spot and random checks when they land at Indian airports. Anyone found carrying more than the prescribed limit is asked to pay duty.
Travellers arguing with custom officials is a common sight at most Indian airports.
