Guide: Alcohol Rules on Flights in India

Guide: Alcohol Rules on Flights in India

Bringing alcohol on flights in India is allowed, but depends on the rules.

For domestic flights, you can pack up to 5 litres in checked bags.

However, what you can bring in your carry-on varies.

Some airlines don't allow alcohol in cabin bags, while others permit a small amount if bought after security.

On international flights, carry-on liquids are limited to 100 ml, but you can check up to 5 litres if the alcohol content is between 24% and 70%.

Remember to pack bottles carefully and keep receipts handy.

Duty-free purchases on connecting flights need to stay sealed to avoid issues.
