Flyers miffed over new customs rules

Chennai: The new rule notified by the Finance Ministry that passengers entering the country must declare Indian currency if they are carrying more than Rs. 10,000 has drawn the ire of frequent flyers. According to the new rule which comes into effect from March 1, passengers should also give a declaration of the number of pieces of baggage they would bring into the country.
M. R. Ranjani, (25), an IT professional based out of Singapore said that such rules would cause difficulty for frequent flyers. K. Ramachandran (name changed), another passenger, also felt entry to the country would become an onerous process if they had to declare even sums such as Rs. 10, 000.
