CBDT instruction cited on gold and silver jewellery limits
In short
A report on Tuesday said CBDT Instruction No. 1916 is the rule to check for gold and silver jewellery kept at home. It asks how much jewellery people can have without trouble from Income Tax authorities.
This matters for households that hold precious jewellery. The report does not give the actual limits, so the exact allowance is still not stated.
