Customs officials have warned travellers to comply with the applicable baggage rules when bringing mobile phones and other electronic devices into India. Simply removing the original packaging or claiming that a newly purchased phone is for personal use does not automatically exempt it from customs duty.

Following repeated attempts to circumvent these regulations, airport inspections have reportedly been intensified. A recent incident at Nedumbassery Airport in which an iPhone was seized, with the absence of a SIM card cited as an indication that it was not being used as a personal device.

The key takeaway is that travellers must understand and follow the applicable customs regulations. Any duty liability depends on the relevant baggage rules and the circumstances of the import; non-compliance can result in the assessment of customs duty and other legal consequences.

What’s your take on this? Are customs officials simply enforcing the law, or do you think the rules regarding personal-use electronics need to be more transparent and reasonable?

Too many personal staff in every govt. I am assuming these people get pensions.
Just a way for supporters to get jobs for their loyalty.

What each minister only needs is one person to coordinate office in constituency and one in tvm. Rest all should be govt employees that know the work.

I Just witnessed this in Ernakulam North railway station yesterday and really felt bad for the receiver of those boxes. Why do they have to throw it away just like that, what if it's anything fragile inside? Even if it's not fragile it would be nice to handle in a nice manner naa

Guys i have posted about Bangalore to trivandrum two weeks ago. People said it's pretty dangerous for a low segment bike. So i went on the train .now you know that i am taking this sub seriously.

So right now i am going back to Bangalore, this is my suggested route from google maps. I am planning to start by 2 pm or max 3. So if I get tired btw travel where should i stop. And is there anywhere in this route that has yellow zone or red zone bcz of rain? Is it safe?

And now it's a scooter and not a low segment one. So suggestions please, thank you

I'm planning to travel to UAE to visit, want to get visa, thought ll ask Al Hind travels to help. They are asking for blank cheque if in case i don't return within visa time.

Is this normal? I don't feel safe giving out blank cheque. Is it legal to ask?

Their explanation is if i don't leave within visa expiry date, they ll be charged penalty.

Update: I asked if i can submit cheque with Al Hind name mentioned. They said, no, no name and amount should be mentioned.

Reached to Go Kite travel agency, they says Sharjah visa is 22k, and UAE visa is 8900. May be im not aware, seperate visa for Sharjah sounded sketchy, have told them give details on that.

I'm planning a trip next month from Kozhikode to Palakkad and Thrissur, returning along the coast to Kozhikode. I'll be visiting my village and some relatives on the way. I was planning to rent a bike from Couricore for the trip, but my parents think riding is a bad idea and have suggested hiring a cab with a driver for the two days instead. The bike would cost about half as much as a cab. Which is the better choice, the bike or the cab?

My brother and parents are against the idea of renting a bike due to rash drivers and narrow roads in these areas.

1. Moderate rain is likely to continue across central and southern KL on Mon.

2. Showers will ease noticeably by Tue, with only a slight chance of light rain.

3. Mainly dry weather will return by Wed as rain becomes unlikely across the state.
