90. Duty Exemption on Cars for Returning NRIs
Q: Hello V.K.Chand ji, This is Sharad from Melbourne, Australia. First of all I would like to thank you for providing such vital information at ease. I have a query in regards to Transfer of Residence. I am an Australian Citizen and been here since 2003 and now moving back to India permanently. Is there any way where I can take my car to India with exemption from duty. I have my car since July 2005. I will appreciate if you can suggest of any way where I don’t need to pay the import duty only if allowed as per Govt. Rules. Kind Regards, Sharad Tanwar A. Unfortunately you cannot get an exemption from duty when you take your car to India on transfer of residency. Customs duties have to be paid.
