Till recently, the Indian Government gave a free rein to the shoppers but suddenly things are not as rosy as they used to be two months ago. The Customs and Central Excise have been asked to clear goods going out to the CIS countries on chartered flights only after an encashment certificate of $8 for every kilogramme is produced by the passengers. This means that the tourist has to prove that he or she has spent this amount for every kilo-gramme of goods taken out.
