Government Raises Import Duty to 15%
The central government recently increased the import duty on gold and silver from 6% to 15% to reduce imports and ease pressure on India's foreign exchange reserves.
The revised duty structure includes:
10% Basic Customs Duty (BCD)
5% Agriculture Infrastructure and Development Cess (AIDC)
The move comes amid global geopolitical tensions and volatile commodity markets.
