vikid · 21st September 2008, 01:15

hi guys,

I am wondering what are the rules to import a car to india; whats allowed and whats not?
e.g can a left hand drive car be imported?
is there a rule that the car should not be X no of years old?
hope someone here would know some details which would be of some help.

Absolutely no LHD unless its on carnet.
If its more than 3 years old then a penalty must be paid.

I have tried googling this stuff many times but I don't get updated info.

Anyone who knows the updated rules?

What about an American citizen moving to India, what kind of rules apply to them?
