Pooling is not allowed in duty free allowance
According to a senior customs official, pooling is not allowed in duty free allowance. For example, four people from a family have gone abroad to visit. There they buy an item which costs two lakh rupees. On returning to India, they should consider that the total duty free allowance of all four is Rs 2 lakh.

Therefore, it would be wrong for them to think that they do not need to pay custom duty. In such a situation, the passenger in whose name the baggage is billed will have to pay the duty. As per rules, duty free allowance of passengers cannot be pooled. Every passenger will get allowance only on his/her luggage.
