Jewellery is generally the more practical and cost-effective choice for NRIs and tourists buying gold in the UAE before travelling to India, according to leading Dubai jewellers. They say buyers can save around 12–15% compared with gold prices in India, driven largely by India's higher import duties and the UAE's competitive gold market. While gold coins may appeal to investors, travellers could face customs restrictions and declaration requirements, and NRIs who later convert coins into jewellery will incur additional making charges. Jewellery, on the other hand, can be worn or carried more conveniently, provided travellers comply with India's 2026 duty-free baggage rules and customs limits. Investment-grade 24K gold bars and bullion may also offer tax advantages in the UAE, while eligible tourists can claim VAT refunds on purchases. If you're travelling from the UAE to India, would you prefer buying gold jewellery for personal use or gold coins as an investment?
