How much cash can we carry to India while travelling from US ?

Is there a maximum limit that we can carry !! Do we need to claim in customs about the cash that we are carrying in US or in India?


Please let me know.


Thanks

How much cash can we carry to India while travelling from US ?
You need to tell USCustoms if you are carrying more than $10,000 out of the country (to anywhere). If you don't declare it and they find it, they will seize it and fine you. Occasionally, they arrest the people doing it, too.
Reply:no limit
Reply:I believe, there is no limit. But declare it to the appropriate authority...may you check before leaving ...?

Reply:yes you need to claim it in customs.(US) I wouldn't carry cash I would carry traveler's checks and use a difficult signature to imitate!
Reply:I honestly dont know
Reply:there is no limit its up to you and your pocket how much budget you have.


if you declare its official no problem at all.
Reply:yes you do need to tell the customs about how much money you are taking, I take about $10.000 every time I go to India and I can travel 2 months every where and buy anything I want.


Food is very cheap in India and just be careful and do not let any body know how much money you have Travellers ch is the best.


India is not safe is you have money with you.
Reply:At a max, carry like $100. Thats about it. We dont need to clain cash in customs but there are chances that what ever US dollar you have is what the customs people in India want. So the lesser you have, the better it is for you.


There is no limit, i think.
Reply:Any person can bring into India from a place outside India foreign exchange without any limit. However, declaration of foreign exchange/currency is required to be made in the prescribed Currency Declaration Form in the following cases:-





(a) Where the value of foreign currency notes exceeds US$ 5000/- or equivalent





(b) Where the aggregate value of foreign exchange (in the form of currency notes, bank notes, traveler cheques etc.) exceeds US$ 10,000/- or its equivalent
Reply:Usually the best thing to do is to use a traveler's check if you're traveling anywhere (not just India). If you're carrying cash then you'd have to declare any amount above $10000. Moreover carrying that amount of money in cash is extremely foolish (the reasons are obvious). Credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express and most other C cards) are accepted in all the major cities in India (rural areas may present a bit of a problem) but it would be best if you contacted your travel agent and ask.
