REJIMON K July 30, 2012 Muscat: Indian Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh has reportedly assured a panel of parliamentarians on easing the Central Board of Excise & Customs department's baggage allowance regulations, which forbid non-resident Indian (NRI) passengers from taking back gold jewellery worth more than Rs10,000 (RO75) for men and Rs20,000 (RO150) for women. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Folks, This one seems kind of strange (to me). The simplest gold wedding ring for men cost $400 in Toronto or more than Rs10,000. The next time I visit Goa, I will be exposing myself to tax trouble if I wear a wedding ring. Mervyn
