Let's go over all of this in depth.
 
In india, gold is subject to taxes in addition to its initial value.  As a result, the price of gold continues to rise.  This explains why visitors from india frequently purchase gold in Dubai.  because gold is exempt from taxation in this nation.
 
How much gold are you able to carry?
 
The guidelines state that an indian who has been residing overseas for more than a year may bring up to 20 grams of jewelry (worth Rs 50,000) or up to 40 grams of jewelry (worth Rs 1 lakh) in his luggage duty-free.  This only applies to female tourists.  On the other hand, visitors to india who bring more gold jewelry than is allowed would be required to pay a customs fee on the gold.  In addition, children who have spent more than a year living outside are permitted to bring gold jewelry from dubai without paying taxes.  However, they are unable to carry biscuits, bars, or gold coins.

How much duty-free gold may a man have?
 
When traveling from dubai to india, a man is allowed to bring up to 20 grams of gold (up to a maximum of Rs 50,000) free of customs duties.  He will be exempt from customs duties if he brings gold coins or bars into india under this limit.  However, they will be required to pay custom tax on the extra grams of gold if the total exceeds the 20-gram or Rs 50,000 limit.
